Re: custom elements without the dash
It's already mentioned in that Twitter thread. If somebody created dialog we could then never standardize an element using that name. Sure, but that's not a possibility that has any immediate effect upon a developer, as I said I suggest the consequences of doing so need to be better articulated (in the spec?). -- Regards SteveF HTML 5.1 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/ On 5 January 2015 at 13:51, Anne van Kesteren ann...@annevk.nl wrote: On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 2:42 PM, Steve Faulkner faulkner.st...@gmail.com wrote: Why force hyphen in custom elements?

Re: custom elements without the dash
yeah, it was just explained to me by Mike Smith: standard custom-elements APIs is that the API doesn’t allow them register custom elements without a dash which I did not know :-) -- Regards SteveF HTML 5.1 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/ On 5 January 2015 at 14:10, Anne van Kesteren ann...@annevk.nl wrote: On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 3:03 PM, Steve Faulkner faulkner.st...@gmail.com wrote: I understand why, its the zillions of developers out there who don't or don't care, either they are given good reasons not to do it in language they understand and is meaningful to them or they ignore requirement and it becomes useless.

custom elements without the dash
brought up on a twitter thread https://twitter.com/johnslegers/status/552064145399767040 Why force hyphen in custom elements? See alternative approach at http:// mdo.github.io/mdoml/ http://t.co/V73nupEc8E and https:// github.com/mdo/mdoml/issues/7 … https://t.co/kJGNmaBOp7. NOTE I am not advocating this approach. There is no apparent downside for a developer if they do dropdown instead of x-dropdown claimed issues with use of dash: (1) causes bloat, (2) reduces readability (3) reduces flexibility As there is no perceived negative effect for the developer when using non dash custom elements (other than opprobrium from the standards overlords) Suggest the reasons for not doing so need to be better articulated. -- Regards SteveF
