Description Maciej Stachowiak 2009-09-07 21:00:00 UTC 
The spec for meta extensions (currently section 4.2.5.2) defines three statuses for extensions (Proposal, Accepted, and Unendorsed) and says that conformance checkers must check the wiki to determine whether a meta name value is allowed. However, it does not say which of these three statuses count as allowed - is it only the Accepted status, Accepted and Proposal status, or all three statuses that count as allowed for validators (and therefore presumably conforming)? The wiki page does not make this clear either. The spec should be explicit about this.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2009-09-18 21:31:00 UTC 
Fixed the spec. I haven't updated the wiki pages, but anyone who feels like doing that should feel entitled to go ahead and clean them up accordingly.
