HTML 5 W3C Bugzilla summary for 7/13

Apologies for the late and abbreviated update… something is better than nothing though. I wanted to highlight HTML 5 bugs that are marked as NEEDINFO and WONTFIX.

NEEDINFO bugs might mean proposing use cases, providing real world data, mocking up some test cases, or showing how existing implementations treat bug/feature. It could also mean demonstrating the bug is invalid or that it is already handled by the existing specification As of July 16th, there are three NEEDINFO bugs that could use some attention:

• MediaElement features are needed on OBJECT element
• Authors need more control over handling of embedded resources
• User Agent display of title attribute content not defined

There are four bugs marked as WONTFIX that have yet to be closed out by the working group. It is likely these bugs are accurately marked, but it never huts to have an extra set of eyes validate the process:

• List elements content model issues
• referencing subordinate text or asides should be through an alternate attribute
• Accessing Object Parameters from an Embedded SV
• Cross-reference “as if”
