[whatwg] On using abbr with no title and screen readers

2011-12-20 Thread Jorge
I am trying to make myself clear on how and when to use abbr, if at all, specifically when it does not need expansion and hence does not a title attribute. The point, I guess, is only mark things up if it provides something. I would say that the sole purpose of using abbr with no title (besides

ything other than +/=0-9A-Za-z you could just pass it directly, and the whole process would be even faster too, given there was no need to clean it up first. FWIW, that's how nodejs is doing it right now. Also, some tools (e.g. the openssl decoder) *expect* the newlines to be there, and fai

Right, and there's neither the need to duplicate them, nor to occupy say 300Mb/s of memory bandwidth memcpying frames @ 30 fps, nor to trash 5*30 ms of cpu time per second, gratuitously, when it can be avoided. -- Jorge.

oon as passed to the worker. Perhaps other constraints might need to exist, e.g. perhaps no methods allowed in these objects. This would make the transfers lightning fast, especially for heavy objects like images. This would allow a threaded program to spend the time where it's worth, doing useful work, instead of copying data over and over, as it happens now. Is it possible to achieve something like that ? -- Jorge.
