https://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/102 4.10.7.1.18 File Upload state http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/number-state.html#file-upload-state The 'file upload' section says: Path components should be separated from each other using U+005C REVERSE SOLIDUS character (\). Should the path separator be the forward slash instead?
EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the Editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the Tracker Issue; or you may create a Tracker Issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Accepted Change Description: Removed erroneous sentence. Rationale: The given sentence added nothing to the fact that path components must not be present, and was in fact wrong. If you create a file name containing \ (or other similar path separators, to the extent that your OS lets you) they will be represented.
