Usecase 1: This can already be covered by having the bot/engine look for an irc protocol link on the page. Usecase 2 part one: Operating systems already do this. They see an irc:// protocol and ask what to open it with or use their already assigned option. No need for a browser to take this over.

Re: [whatwg] Forced subtitles

2013-04-15 Thread Jonathan Garbee
I think it should be up to the developer to chose the default subtitles they want. What if someone is trying to localize a page, and the default subtitle is always English when they want Spanish? If not specified, the default subtitle should be the language specified of the page or video. But, if

You’re making this more complicated than it needs to be. Simplify the problem domain. I think we can all agree, we don't want another App Cache on our hands for a standard. Sorry you feel an idea can be thrown out, immediately accepted and pushed through simply because it seems obvious. In the

So, if this were to get in it is magically up to users to know to go change the settings (most don't) to get different modes. That is bad design. We need to handle things for users in this situation. Not do something and hope they pay attention. If you're suggesting a feature that requires
