Description Julian Reschke 2011-02-14 10:29:02 UTC
Since the last WD, the spec has gained a new normative reference to DOMRANGE - is there an associated bug related to this? Any discussion on the mailing list?

Also, the referenced document says:

"I do not intend to finish this specification. Please go ahead and fork if you'd like to work on it."

Is this supposed to go into the Last Call draft?
Comment 1 Aryeh Gregor 2011-02-16 00:10:50 UTC
AFAIK, the plan is that DOM Range should be submitted as an Editor's Draft to the Web Apps WG fairly soon.  Are there any problems with going to Last Call with normative dependencies on less complete specs?  CSS 3 Selectors is PR, but it has a normative dependency on CSS 2.1, which is WD.

Rationale: Bug doesn't seem to describe a bug.
Comment 3 Julian Reschke 2011-05-04 08:10:44 UTC
Explanation why this is a problem: adding normative references to things that are early drafts is a problem when trying to get to Last Call.

That being said: as of today, the spec doesn't use the reference anyway. Please remove it.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r6071.
Check-in comment: make a reference vanish from the w3c copy

Comment 6 Julian Reschke 2011-05-05 07:17:56 UTC
Thanks.

Out of curiosity: why is the ref staying in the WhatWG version when it's not used?
Comment 7 Michael[tm] Smith 2011-08-04 05:34:48 UTC
mass-move component to LC1
