The behavior required by http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/cascade/import/002.html does not seem to be specified by any spec, and the HTML5 spec is silent on the matter. The test passes in Mozilla and Opera at least. 37240 1 xn--mlform-iua 2010-08-04 23:16:21 +0000 Anne and Jonas have suggested that Opera and Firefox should remove support for this feature: http://www.w3.org/mid/op.vgxckiqz64w2qv@anne-van-kesterens-macbook-pro.local That sounds fine to me. But I hope that they, when they proposed the removal of this feature, also were aware that, http-equiv="link" may be used for link prefetching. Developer.Mozilla.org documets this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/link_prefetching_faq And testing shows that Opera support prefetch via http-equiv="link" as well. For consistency, it sounds reasonable that support for http-equiv="default-style" should also removed, then: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/semantics#attr-meta-http-equiv-default-style 37283 2 annevk 2010-08-08 07:07:31 +0000 Another benefit of dropping this is that then HTMLMetaElement does not have to implement LinkStyle. 37546 3 annevk 2010-08-17 06:44:41 +0000 I thought about this some more and while I initially agreed with Leif I think <meta http-equiv=default-style> offers functionality that is not available via other means. <meta http-equiv=link> you can just use <link> instead, but that is not the case for <meta http-equiv=default-style>. 37605 4 Ms2ger 2010-08-18 12:36:14 +0000 FTR: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587928> 37860 5 ian 2010-08-25 22:21:44 +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: Partially Accepted Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The spec not saying that anything should happen is a statement as to what should happen: nothing. The tests on my site that rely on this are bogus.
