You're right, "locale" is easier. :-) -Jacob -----Original Message----- From: Doug Schepers [mailto:schepers@w3.org] Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 8:10 PM To: Jacob Rossi Cc: www-dom@w3.org Subject: Re: Added 'locale' to Text, Keyboard, and Composition Events [ISSUE-119] Hi, Jacob- Jacob Rossi wrote (on 12/28/10 11:01 AM): > > On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 10:14 AM, Doug Schepers wrote: > >> I took the liberty of renaming 'inputLocale' to 'locale', since most >> developers prefer shorter, nonCamelCased names, and it seems equally >> descriptive. > > I think we had decided on inputLocale to be consistent with the naming > of inputMethod. :-) We had discussed it, but I don't recall a specific resolution either way. I don't consider consistency with 'inputMethod' as important as ease of use, since they aren't particularly related. Also, 'inputMethod' is only on Text events, while 'locale' is on several different interfaces. Regards- -Doug Schepers W3C Team Contact, SVG, WebApps, and Web Events WGs
