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: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: It is specced — user agents are entirely allowed to ignore it, and are not disallowed from doing anything they want with it. Are there any particular features of this argument that you think should be specified in more detail? If so, which? And why?
That should be made clearer. In particular, "The third argument, /features/, has no effect…" is wrong. I don't know a lot about window.open, but from what I remember from reading the source, it seems at least parsing the string is very compat-sensitive.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: see diff below Rationale: I've changed the text to be more accurate, but haven't specced anything new. If you want something specced, tell me what it is exactly what why interop for that feature matters.
