8835 2010-01-28 05:52:57 +0000 Clarifcation of the purpose of "Markup" spec and possible renaming of it. 2010-07-03 02:07:13 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML WG HTML5: The Markup Language (editor: Michael(tm) Smith) unspecified PC Windows XP RESOLVED FIXED http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/spec.html P2 normal --- 1 dean mike public-html-admin zcorpan public-html-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 31310 0 dean 2010-01-28 05:52:57 +0000 Just having a look at the spec: "HTML 5: The Markup Language" that Mike Smith is/was working on. I'm not sure if this project has been put to the side or superseded by something else or whether it is still being actively developed. If this is going to be used by the HTML WG can we please have the title changed to something else as the real "HTML 5: The Markup Language" is actually in the main spec that's known as "HTML5", the spec that is being developed by both the W3C and the WHATWG. This "the markup spec" certainly can not be called "HTML 5: The Markup Language" anyway as HTML5 is interdependently linked to XHTML5 and DOM5 (meaning you can't separate HTML5 from XHTML5 or DOM5). Seems confusing to have two specs attempting to do the same thing, I'm not sure what the purpose is of "the markup spec", perhaps it's aimed at authors, nonetheless, it really needs to be called something else so there's no confusion between it and the real markup language(s) HTML5, XHTML5 that are within the main spec. Thanks Dean 32414 1 mike 2010-02-18 18:02:32 +0000 *** Bug 8946 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 32415 2 mike 2010-02-18 18:04:05 +0000 Simon's comment from bug 8946: "H:TML" or "HTML5: The Markup Language" doesn't say much about what the document is about. I think it would be better if it was "HTML5 Document Conformance Reference" or something. 32874 3 mike 2010-03-10 07:20:56 +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 change Rationale: I changed the name of this document once previously, quite some time back, and was subsequently asked to change it back. I agree that the name is not ideal, but then I also think the names of many specs are less than ideal -- and I don't think the name of this particular one is any worse than any of the possible alternatives. And if I were to change it, I am certain there'd be another bug raised to propose changing it back. So rather than spend more time yo-yo-ing around with that, I would prefer that we go with the status quo and move on. 36549 4 mike 2010-07-03 02:04:57 +0000 changed title to "HTML: The Markup Language Reference" 36550 5 mike 2010-07-03 02:05:52 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
