[whatwg] Feature requests that I've converted to bugs II

2013-10-14 Thread Ian Hickson

Over the years I've collected a number of threads on this list that were 
requesting features (as opposed to reporting bugs), and which lacked 
immediate interest from more than one browser vendor. I collected a bunch 
of them and filed bugs for them back in July:

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2013Jul/0193.html

I've now done the same with a few more threads of feedback sent to
this list that I've looked at since then. Here are the bugs I filed
(or found already existed) this time around:

[whatwg] Feature requests that I've converted to bugs

2013-07-16 Thread Ian Hickson

Over the years I've collected a number of threads on this list that were 
requesting features (as opposed to reporting bugs), and which lacked 
immediate interest from more than one browser vendor.

Unfortunately, while I've been tracking them, they don't have much 
visibility and so I don't always know if a particular topic has grown more 
interest from implementors, since vendors don't know to tell me.

To address these problems, I've gone through the feature request threads, 
and extracted from them all the use cases and constraints I could find, 
and then using that filed bugs for each feature request.

Here are the bugs I filed (and some earlier ones that covered the same
topics, for completeness):

Aligning strokes inside or outside a path
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22674

   Features to control the "Referer" header
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22675   

   APIs for page prerendering
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22676

expose the frame rate and specific frames of media resources
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22678

   Localisation
