ISSUE-127: Simplify characterization of link types
link-type-flags
Simplify characterization of link types
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- pre-LC1 HTML 5 spec
- Raised by:
- Julian Reschke
- Opened on:
- 2010-09-30
- Description:
- See http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10644
The spec currently allows link types to have different effects on <link> on
<a>. That contradicts the goal of having consistent semantics of link
relations, independently on where they appear.
In fact, none of the currently defined link relations differ in this; the only
difference is that some are said not to be allowed on certain elements (whether
*that* is a good idea is a separate issue).
Proposal: change the spec to define "effect on" for *all* elements, and have a
separate flag/column to describe where they are allowed.
This will simplify registries (see ISSUE-27), and also discourage definition of
link relations that indeed have different semantics on different elements.
