Hi All,
I am now editing the Window Modes document.
It seems there is inconsistency in the naming of core subject of the
Window/View Modes specification.
P&C uses "viewmodes" XML attribute [1].
P&C refers to: "[Widgets-Views] Widgets 1.0: Media Query Extensions."
WM has the title "Window Modes and ..." [2].
WM uses in CSS "widget-mode" features [2] and "widgetMode" attribute [3].
A&E uses "viewMode" Web IDL attribute [4].
My suggestion is to unify the related naming convention.
IMHO, the spec defines new media feature (widget-mode/widget-viewmode) [5], but
does not define new media queries or their new syntax [6].
So we should add the proper title to reflect this fact.
E.g.
@media handheld and (widget-mode: widget) and (orientation: landscape) {
}
is proper MQ syntax [6].
The suggested changes are:
1. Rename the specification to:
"Widgets 1.0: View Modes and Media Features"
a. The link " http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-wm/"; could be changed to
"http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-vm/";
2. Rename the media feature from "widget-mode" to "widget-view-mode".
3. Modify the Web IDL IF from
interface WidgetModeChangeEvent : Event {
readonly attribute DOMString widgetMode;
...
};
to
interface WidgetViewModeChangeEvent : Event {
readonly attribute DOMString widgetViewMode;
...
};
I would like to proceed with these editorial changes asap (e.g. have it done
before our next telco), and I just would like first to consult with the group
whether there are any objections or comments wrt the above modifications.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Marcin
