Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2014-02-17 15:27:14 UTC 
web-platform-tests uses the IDs of sections in the directory structure and has already become out of sync in embedded content. Can we please have a stable id "embedded-content" for this section?
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-02-21 22:39:24 UTC 
Done.

(Why would this section ever be referenced? It's empty, all the normative content is in subsections that can be referenced directly. Those subsections are highly likely to move around, e.g. canvas was in "embedded content" but is now under "scripting", and so on. I would not recommend relying on high-level section structure in the HTML spec.)

Perhaps I should have said "pretty id" instead of "stable id". If the spec moves things around web-platform-tests will have to move along with it, for now I just didn't enjoy the "-0" in the path leading up to the tests I'm working on in html/semantics/embedded-content-0/media-elements/
Comment 5 Philip Jägenstedt 2014-02-22 09:37:25 UTC 
Looks good, I'll proceed to write tests for this case!
Comment 6 Philip Jägenstedt 2014-02-22 12:01:36 UTC 
Heh, that was meant for another bug :)
