Re: [whatwg] [mimesniff] Handling container formats like Ogg

2012-11-26 Thread Adam Barth
I included H.264 sniffing in the spec because some implementors specifically asked for it (and it wasn't all that complicated). For Ogg, I'd wait until implementors ask you to include it. Adam On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 2:59 PM, Gordon P. Hemsley wrote: > Container formats like Ogg can be used to

[whatwg] [mimesniff] Handling container formats like Ogg

2012-11-26 Thread Gordon P. Hemsley
Container formats like Ogg can be used to store many different audio and video formats, all of which can be identified generically as "application/ogg". Determining which individual format to use (which can be identified interchangeably as the slightly-less-generic "audio/ogg" or "video/ogg", or us

[whatwg] [mimesniff] Audio and video sniffing

Upon looking through the code for Gecko's media sniffing, I noticed that they seem to combine sniffing for audio and video elements. Given that Opera has said that it uses the specific sniffing algorithms, and that some media containers (like Ogg) can be used for either audio or video, I wonder if

[whatwg] AppCache Error events

2012-11-26 Thread David Barrett-Kahn
Right now this event contains no structured information, just an error message. It'd be helpful to us to know more about what failed, so we can know what to report to the server and take action on. It's hard to distinguish cache update failures due to just being offline from those which are actua

It's hard to analyze your use-case without knowing what it is. For some kinds of "large data model" applications, I can think of DOM-based implementation techniques that might be a lot more performant than those you have mentioned. I agree that this is a very challenging domain. Rob -- Jesus cal
