Does JS bound to need to inherit from HTMLElement?

While I completely understand the beauty of having any JS object bound to an inherit functions that make that object 'be an element', I'm unsure of the practical value. To me the critical relationship between the JS and the element is JS object access to its corresponding element instance without

Re: [webcomponents]: Of weird script elements and Benadryl

@Scott - interesting, but there are valid reasons for having access to the global scope/document: - Components that benefit from top-level delegation - Components that need to analyze their destination environment before codifying their definition Know what I mean? On Fri, Apr 12, 2013

Re: MathML and "Clipboard API and events"

Hey Paul, nice to hear you raise this! I fully agree it should be possible for some JS code such as MathJax to copy MathML to clipboard. The reason it is not listed as a mandatory data type, I believe, is that I, at least, have been unable to demonstrate the zero risk of doing so. I believe I

RE: MathML and "Clipboard API and events"

As to the lack of a MathML clipboard data type, I worry that this will make the copy ambiguous. We already see that in some desktop apps where some kind of Paste Special is needed. Speaking of Paste Special, I didn't see that mentioned. It would be really nice to be able to easily implement spe

MathML and "Clipboard API and events"

Hi, I was just reading this document (http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-clipboard-apis-20130411/). My company has been heavily involved in MathML since its creation. We are obviously interested in clipboard APIs since we want to be able to copy, cut, and paste mathematics to/from web apps. I have

Re: [PointerLock] Should there be onpointerlockchange/onpointerlockerror properties defined in the spec

I'm not sure this makes sense to use futures exclusively. As a library author you want to know when the page transitions into full screen mode even if you didn't invoke the requestFullScreen call. Futures are also not extensible. With an event we could always tack on more information in the future
