If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: No proposal was put forward that would sanely reuse HTTP caching rules. HTTP caching really isn't built for this kind of thing; reusing it would be an abuse of HTTP. (It would also be significantly more complicated to set up.) 30514 3 julian.reschke 2010-01-05 11:41:17 +0000 Not being able to *use* the HTTP caching rules doesn't mean it's OK to ignore them (and that's what the spec appears to say). To make progress with this, it would be useful to understand what requirements HTML5 has here, and which of these aren't covered by what HTTP already offers. 31506 4 ian 2010-02-05 20:37:01 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The requirement was basically making it possible to easily cache a bunch of files and be sure that they would always be updated and expired as a single unit. I don't understand what is being proposed in this bug, however, and so cannot make a change to the spec. 31528 5 julian.reschke 2010-02-05 21:26:01 +0000 Again: "Not being able to *use* the HTTP caching rules doesn't mean it's OK to ignore them (and that's what the spec appears to say)." Are you disagreeing that it's ignoring the rules? 32038 6 ian 2010-02-14 10:21:27 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: No spec change proposed and I'm not interested in taking part in a philosophical debate in a bug report. 34127 7 mjs 2010-03-30 03:23:07 +0000 Julian, do you have a suggested title or text for the tracker issue?
