Description Glenn Adams 2011-09-04 22:11:50 UTC
In 4.8.11 of the current draft appears:

"The most commonly used primary context is the HTML Canvas 2D Context."

where "HTML Canvas 2D Context" is expressed as a direct link to http://dev.w3.org/html5/2dcontext.

This reference does not follow the standard treatment of using the References section of the document to make the reference to the actual document.

To resolve this, please add a '[2DCONTEXT]' reference (or equivalent) to the an entry in the references section, which in turn references the working draft http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/ (rather than the editor's draft).

For example, change 

"The most commonly used primary context is the HTML Canvas 2D Context."

to read as

"The most commonly used primary context is the HTML Canvas 2D Context [2DCONTEXT]."

and add the following entry to References section:

"[2DCONTEXT] HTML Canvas 2D Context, I. Hickson, W3C.

Comment 3 Julian Reschke 2011-12-02 18:04:36 UTC
No; it's still a direct link: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-canvas-element
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-12-03 02:45:39 UTC
Ah, right. That's what the chairs decided we should have.

(Personally I don't think what the spec says is the right thing either, FWIW. I think there should just be one spec.)
