(This would also require a check during the downloading process, as to whether the provided sizes are real) Posted from: 82.215.60.110 30526 1 ian 2010-01-05 12:00:12 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. 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: If the browser doesn't want to download gigabytes of data, it need but stop downloading. Requiring that the author get the file sizes right in the manifest is non-trivial, especially for dynamic resources. It's not really clear what benefit this would bring.
