Define what to do when you get a new implicit entry to add but the cache is up to date. Rejig some of the behaviour around to be slightly safer (and to prevent the cache update process from being invoked from withint the cache update process).

Application caches: Define what happens when the user cancels the download. Resolve the infinite loop when the server is broken but a fallback resource doesn't have a valid manifest= attribute.

Move the history traversal algorithm out of the History object section

Make the implicit downloads delay the cache update process. Allow downloads to be reused for cache update. Abstract out the failure mode of the cache update process. Drop fragment identifiers for fallback documents too.

Writing cache manifests: clarify that the BOM is allowed and won't cause ignoring of the file.

ack for prev checkin

Make the definition of compatMode less confusing.

Make " not be escaped in non-attribute contexts in innerHTML.

Make DOMTokenList not put spaces at starts of strings, even for toggle().

Big cleanup of the 'reflect' definitions.

Clear some stuff up, since this wasn't well written before.

Make HTMLAreaElement.shape not accept invalid values.

Typo

...and 'should only' goes byebye also.

Give 'may only' the same treatment as 'must only'.

Reword all conformance requirements never to use the phrase 'must only', which really doesn't mean what you think it means if you apply RFC2119 definitions precisely.

Clarify where elements can be used; explicitly allow orphan nodes.

Require preprocessing of media queries since CSS doesn't recognise the vertical tab character.

explain that rel='up up index icon' is two links, not four (or three); fix another typo

typo

er, this made no sense.

Try to make it more precise when a UA has to download a resource in a <link> with no type=''.

Explain slightly better how <link> can create multiple links

Expand 'html' in the abstract

more typos

typo

typo

minor editorial fixes

Make boolean attributes case-insensitive

add a placeholder for lists of elements, attributes, interfaces, events (anything else?)

grammar typo

Excise the term 'entity' from the specification (as far as the text/html syntax goes). They are now 'character references'. You put them on your resume.

typo

oops, when we did the whole 'flow' change some old inline elements became allowed where they weren't before, with unforseen results for the datagrid content model

Fix the list of numbers algorithm to handle '1,-' and to not be redundant.

make it read better

Bring the coords='' parsing more in line with how IE does it.

Make parsing lists of numbers have some semblence of an attempt at parsing actual numbers correctly.

markup typo

xref so i can refer to this section

add an example for rel=icon

<link rel='icon' sizes=''>

note to self so i don't spend 3 minutes working out why it's not a normative requirement again...

also note that we have to resolve urls for remove() in appcaches

More issues with URIs -- add more things I need to define, make the application cache api raise errors on invalid uris

make a note that we haven't said how to resolve relative urls for the application cache api

Remove the untestable mention of U+0000 in application caches. Make it clear that the cache API returns URIs. Grammar fixes.

grammar typo due to earlier search and replace

xref typo

Minor editorial changes to the application cache section to fix mistakes and clarify how things work.

Clarify that only vector fonts are intended to be used.

make a note of an open issue with executeSql() arguments and types that the backend doesn't support

typo

fix xrefs for executeSql()

Skip calling a callback if it wasn't specified.

Merge the name/value pair storage and SQL storage sections into one section with a common privacy and security bit, and other editorial fixes.

make some notes about what needs to happen with events, timers, etc, when a page is navigated.

make note that we should kill things when calling document.open()

Allow UAs to raise a security exception for openDatabase() if the domain isn't allowed to have a database.

Define <meta name=description> and <meta name=application-name>.

Remove <meta name=dns>, since nobody seemed to like it. If you actually like this and want it and will implement it, let me know.

add a note explaining that referrers may be blanked for ssl->http connections

Editorial fixes; make it clear what interacting while 'paused' means.

don't have numbers without the constant names

Update the abstract a little; minor markup fix.

placeholder for URL section

Make @font-face fonts available to <canvas>.

making it consistent. dunno whether it's the best value though...

oops, forgot to give name a DOM attribute

Make type='' take precedence if the server responded application/octet-stream.

Empty classid='' should apparently be ignored.

Allow type='' to be used as a hint.

Handle errors when handling <object> data better; sniff for the real image type if appropriate.

Add examples for how to handle Java using <object>, add name='' to the list of <object> attributes.

Support classid=''. Also, factor out the common parts of plugin handling for <object>.

Clarify the handling of <object> data='' and type='' and remove bogus requirements.

Clarify what the pairs in a <dialog> are of.

Allow <time> in <dt> in <dialog>.

Remove doubt that you can't use <q> to quote poetry... Sigh...

Take responsibility for not being any good.

Rendering text to a canvas: the fillText(), strokeText(), and measureText() APIs.

Also clarify the effective script origin for XMLHttpRequest documents.

Define origin for XMLHttpRequest documents -- this may move into the XHR spec at some point.

file:// interop isn't necessary, and UAs want to do clever things with it

Update the spec status to indicate that the spec is getting more stable (WHATWG only)

Make things even more explicit.

Fallout from removing the WYSIWYG section.

don't mind me

<font> is gone; style='' is global.

Mention data: URIs explicitly, so we can give them a better origin. Also, safeguard mentions of the data: URIs from becoming xrefs.

Define the origin of javascript: and data: URIs that were the result of an HTTP redirect (and minor editorial fixes)

Implement the descendant-navigation frame policy.

Define the origin for about:blank documents.

Support IDNA when setting document.domain.

Minor editorial fixups in document.domain-related changes.

Define MessageEvent.origin for postMessage() in the face of IDN.

Make document.domain return the empty string, not null, when there is no origin.

Define document.domain and how it works.

Tighten security a little: <img src='javascript:'> and javascript: in a style sheet should be in a sandbox.

Revamp the way that the concept of 'origin' is defined; nuke the concept of 'same scheme/host/port'. This shouldn't, in theory, change anything, but let me know if I screwed up...

Move 'origin' section up one level, so that it can be made independent of scrpts

typo

ack for storage.clear()

Note about handling nulls in the Storage API.

Define onstorage=''.

Add Storage.clear(); define event dispatch for removeItem() and clear()

Various editorial changes to the local storage section.

The features argument of showModalDialog() is ignored. Removing it from the spec.

postMessage() should fire on the window, not the document

showModalDialog(): first draft. Also, some 'the the' editorial corrections.

trailing <s.

Er, make the algorithm actually make sense in an async world.

Make postMessage() asynchronous, require its second argument, make '*' be a generic wildcard value.

Revamp tabindex=''; fix a bunch of uses of the word 'reflect' to be properly marked up.

markup typo

Mention how to handle plurals in abbreviation expansions.

Various comments on edits and paragraphs and lists.

Make the <dl> conformance criteria less redundant.

Looks like I got this backwards.

Ack for last checkin.

Include a lastEventId field on the event for <event-source>.

Allow <abbr> without title=''.

Remove the term 'valid unicode character' since apparently it doesn't mean much

mark bad examples

mark bad example

thank the sources of examples

Notes on how to do footnotes.

Apparently everyone in #whatwg except me likes popups!

Allow _blank, but encourage UAs to not open new windows.

Introduce <object name> and <iframe name> to allow <a target> to load stuff in them.

Minor tweaks to <dfn>'s definition.

Change <abbr>. It's only valid for actual expansions now.

Allow duplicate definitions; require that the definition be with the <dfn>.

Remove the automatic cross-referencing for <dfn>.

Fix the attributes on <meter> to be floats, not longs; and add mike to the acks (totally unrelated)

Remove vestigial <label> element.

<meter> attributes must fit the inequalities.

Define document.scripts
