[whatwg] what use-case is there for the name-attribute on a fieldset?

2012-12-21 Thread Evert Van dansen 
Hello,

Recently I noticed that HTML5 allows the name-attribute on a fieldset. This was 
not the case in HTML4.0.1.
I did some tests and noticed that this name is *not* part of the POSTed data 
when submitting a form? So I was wondering when and for what purpose this 
name-attribute should or could be used?

Thanks.

 I am sorry, perhaps I misunderstand, but I do not see what the advantage is 
 over using regular hooks (like id) in this case? Surely adding the 
 name-attribute must have been a decision based on something specific?

Oh, the reason was likely that it was already widely supported,
despite not being mentioned in HTML4.

  Should we add a preciseSeek() method with two arguments that does a

 This method would be more useful if there were a way to retrieve the 
 media's time scale.  Otherwise, the script would have to pick an 
 arbitrary scale value, or provide the correct media scale through other 
 means (such as querying the server hosting the media).  Additionally, 
 authors like Rob are going to want to retrieve this precise 
 representation of the currentTime.  If rational time values were 
 encapsulated into their own interface, a preciseCurrentTime (or 
 similar) read-write attribute could be used instead.

Ok. I assume this is something you (Apple) are interested in implementing; 
is this something any other browser vendors want to support? If so, I'll 
be happy to add something along these lines.
