For convenience: https://github.com/whatwg/html :)

(https://svn.whatwg.org/ still refers to the SVN repo.)

Re: [whatwg] Standards growth and complexity

[Jens Oliver Meiert]

A few concerns about the growth of HTML c.:
http://meiert.com/en/blog/20150518/fing-up-standards/.

Personally I’ve been concerned about this for some time—from my view
common HTML and CSS code gets worse by the hour, with problems
typically being addressed by what caused them in the first place: new
features. (This is a generalization, but you get my drift.)

However, this is solely meant to keep the topic alive.

(Also shared with two other groups, posted separately to honor group
preferences.)

Re: [whatwg] Knuth and Plass algorithm; boxes glue penalties

[Jens Oliver Meiert]

 I'm wondering if anyone is developing web standards and prototypes
 for web layout using the Knuth and Plass algorithm?  It seems
 like responsive designs could be expressed more simply in a
 boxes-glue-penalties frame, and responsive layout for JavaScript, CSS,
 and other things that you put in pre, now, would be tractable with the
 right HTML/CSS primitives.  If you have something like this underway,
 please get in touch.

Maybe bring this up with www-style,

Re: [whatwg] HTML6 proposal for single-page apps without Javascript

[Jens Oliver Meiert]

 There’s a standard design pattern emerging via all the front-end javascript
 frameworks where content is loaded dynamically via JSON APIs.

So it’s already possible, right? :)

Even if HTML would accommodate, how would we know we’re not just
moving complexity from one end to the other? Would we want that? Why?

* From my point of view we’ve made this mistakes a few times, and I
deem the most prominent one CSS variables/custom properties. (See e.g.
http://www.w3.org/People/Bos/CSS-variables.)

[whatwg] ad

[Jens Oliver Meiert]

Has there ever been a discussion about a dedicated element for ads, like ad?

I’d like to review or otherwise propose the element, for at least on
the surface, advertising may warrant dedicated markup.

I thought we may have touched it. That makes sense. Though I didn’t
instantly think of the user style sheet one-liner ad would be
begging for.
