That's confusing. I'm not sure why. You're correct about what point I'm referring to. > I was subscribed, but I was trolled there until I gave up and > unsubscribed, at which point they quietly implemented my proposal. Ian is the only one who really gets to decide what goes in the spec, unless implementers force his hand by flat-out refusing to implement something. He replies to every substantive point made on the list eventually, but he can take a couple of months. In your case it looks like he agreed with you, when he finally got around to it. There's not really a "they", and I wouldn't call it "quiet" so much as "delayed". You can mostly ignore anyone on the whatwg list who isn't Ian or an implementer, really, if you're only trying to get something put in the spec. You only have to care what they say if you think it will convince anyone important. Or if you think it might convince you. :) > I don't know why you think more input is needed, it's a reasonable > proposal. Just flame everyone until you get your way. Well, in this case we're not even talking about something that would go into HTML 5, necessarily, it's being developed by only Mozilla right now. If more important Wikimedia people than I state agreement with me about the importance of the feature to easy CSP deployment, I think that will be more useful than flaming anyone. Or if they disagree, they should say so so I don't mislead the Mozilla people into thinking the feature needs to be added to the spec. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
