Comment:
EventTarget here would be more useful if linked to
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#webidl-
events-EventTarget than the triply or quadruply indirect link it is now.

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-04 16:34:40 UTC 
What would doing this entail? Is there some easy way for me to do it?
Comment 2 Anne 2011-08-13 18:10:06 UTC 
I think it either requires using https://bitbucket.org/ms2ger/specification-data (e.g. <code data-anolis-spec=domcore>Document</code>) or figuring out something new that works for everyone. specification-data is now used by DOM, Editing, XMLHttpRequest, and some other specifications.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-09-21 20:49:57 UTC 
I'm not going to do this for a while. Patches welcome though.

Comment 7 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-07-15 19:16:57 UTC 
I've gone a bit of a different route, which is that in the source document I put some data-x-href="" attributes on the <dfn> elements that point to other specs, in the Dependencies section mainly, and the pipeline just makes the xrefs to that point to the other specs instead.

But I still need to actually put in the xrefs everywhere, so not closing yet.
Comment 8 Anne 2016-03-16 14:36:47 UTC 
We've added loads of data-x-href. There's still more to be done, but it's good enough for this bug.
