Hi Everyone,
I was going over the P&C spec and had a couple questions:
1. Under section 7.12 "The feature Element" it does not note how a
widget
user agent should handle an unknown feature name. Is this intended?
Yes, this is intentional. Processing is actually defined in Step 7:
"x. If feature-name is not supported by the user agent, and
required-feature is true, then treat this widget as an invalid widget
package.
x. If feature-name is not supported by the user agent, and
required-feature is false, then this element, its attributes, and its
children are in error and must be ignored. Stop processing this
element and proceed to the next element in the elements list.
"
I've added a note at the start of the "Configuration Document" section
referring the reader to Step 7 for details about processing of
elements. Hopefully that will alert the reader to where processing of
elements is described. The note simply reads:
"Please see Step 7 for details of how the elements of the
configuration document are processed by a user agent."
Is that clear enough?
2. Under section 6.5 "Start Files" it says "It is optional for
user agents
to support the media types listed in the default start files
table." Does
this mean a user agent can support any combination of Default
Start Files
from the table or are the files grouped under the media types? So
If I were
to support text/html, then I would need to search for both .htm
and .html
files?
That is correct. Is that not clear enough? If no, can you suggest some
text that would make that more clear?
