I disagree, there are so many other things you need to take account of if you were (for example) getting all the text out of an HTML document. Text and markup in comment nodes would just through a spanner in the works for starters. It all boils down to the fact that the only thing disallowing in

Re: [whatwg] Web API for speech recognition and synthesis

I agree. The application should be able to choose a source for speech commands, or give the user a choice of options for a speech source. It also provides a much better separation of APIs, allowing the development of a speech API that doesn't depend on or interfere in any way with the development

I'd suggest using an attribute over a type specifier too. Not only does it have the problem Marius spotted, but if you specified a type attribute then you have much more difficulty displaying content of the same type from both a CDN and dynamic user content in the same page (such as in a social

Re: [whatwg] model/: A 3D Equivalent to img/

2009-11-02 Thread David Workman
I'm in perfect agreement regarding the rational behind having a model tag as I agree with having more semantic tags in HTML. However, I don't think a model tag would work as described as it would provide no real extra benefits and would just confuse document authors. The reason I feel this is

Re: [whatwg] article/section/details naming/definition problems

2009-09-16 Thread David Workman
To throw my views into the mix: I think 'article' is more suitable than 'post' or 'entry' semantically. A blog post can reasonably be called an article (although it stretches the concept a bit for forum posts), whereas in an online newspaper or magazine, 'article' is definitely appropriate whereas
