Hi All,
We've came across a situation in the RDFa API which could do with some
input from the webapps group, primarily on the WebIDL side of things.
We have the following interface:
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface TypedLiteral : RDFNode {
readonly attribute stringifier DOMString value;
readonly attribute IRI type;
any valueOf ();
};
If a converter is registered with the API for the specific `type` then
valueOf() returns the native type (for instance Date in the case of
xsd:dateTime).
We are currently looking for input on what valueOf() should return when
there is no converter registered. Choices we're looking at are:
1: unconverted value
2: throw an exception
3: return null
4: return void
1 and 2 aren't really any option tbh - 3 I prefer, 4 another member of
the WG prefers, but primarily we're looking for best practise in this
scenario, and whether 4 is even an option.
Best and TIA,
Nathan
