Hi. Jason raised a concern [1] that HTML5 meter has different semantics than HTML5 progress. HTML meter is defined [2] as
The meter <https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-meter-element> element represents <https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#represents> a scalar measurement within a known range, or a fractional value; for example disk usage, the relevance of a query result, or the fraction of a voting population to have selected a particular candidate. HMTL5 progress is defined [3] as The progress <https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-progress-element> element represents <https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#represents> the completion progress of a task. The progress is either indeterminate, indicating that progress is being made but that it is not clear how much more work remains to be done before the task is complete Do we want a new role to express HTML5 meter semantics, because it's not a progress semantically, it's rather a way to visualize scalar data of a certain range. I'd say that HTML5 progress element is a special case semantically of HTML5 meter. Thanks. Alex.
