PORTING from TRACKER, ISSUE-186... [see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2011JulSep/0122.html] ---- I'm not really sure whether I should continue reviewing DOM Level 3 Events as the way comments are not being discussed by participants of the WG on this list but rather on teleconferences between a few people is not productive I think, but here we go... http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#event-types-list forbids e.g. load events to be dispatch on XMLHttpRequest. That seems very wrong. In addition, if I create a synthetic event called load and dispatch it on a Text node listeners registered for it should definitely trigger. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
The list is "non-normative summary"
(that was fast Olli... but thanks. Here's the rest of the email thread, which repeats what you said :-) On Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:32:10 +0200, Olli Pettay <Olli.Pettay@helsinki.fi> wrote: > That table is non-normative, as the text says. Is the text that says "required not" etc. after the table non-normative too? That is not at all clear. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
And if that is non-normative, it should not use normative keywords.
Will strip the normative keywords.
(In reply to comment #4) > Will strip the normative keywords. Done. Additionally, I added some clarity around the intent of the table, converted the normative-looking paragraphs to notes, and included the remark about XHR and dispatching untrusted events to anywhere you want. I think this helps dispell any myths surrounding the included table. Thanks, Travis
