Of course it does when you phrase one with an entire sentence and the other as just an "extra delimiter". ^_^ Out-of-order attributes would of course be confusing. There's no reason for authors to do that on purpose, of course; they'd just be confusing themselves. The fact that it's *possible* for them to be authored out-of-order isn't significant here, because there's no *reason* to do so; all the attributes are specified in a single location, so you don't even have the excuse of things being scattered around the document. Just talking about attributes vs delimiters, though, I explained in my most recent email to Timothy why I believe the attribute separation that src-N uses is significant. It's not separate attributes *just* because it's the second level of hierarchy; there's an important difference in the sources specified in a single attribute. Based on my experiences giving talks and teaching the occasional class, I believe that teaching the distinction of "all sources within a single src-N attribute must be for the same image with different densities; use different src-N attributes when you're trying to deliver different images" is pretty simple; teaching the same thing, but about top-level groups versus low-level groups will be more difficult. ~TJ _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
