Description Julian Reschke 2011-08-25 15:54:56 UTC 
in 4.12.3 Following hyperlinks:

"Otherwise, if the hyperlink is a sidebar hyperlink and the user agent implements a feature that can be considered a secondary browsing context, such a secondary browsing context may be selected as the browsing context to be navigated."

This is probably leftover text that applied to the "sidebar" link relation (see bug 11183). Please remove.

Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-10-20 17:17:45 UTC 
When this decision is applied, how do you propose that the sidebar value in the wiki remain coherent?

I propose that the definition of the link relation includes all information required to implement it (just like it's the case for any other complete definition of a link relation).
Comment 6 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-01-30 20:56:01 UTC 
The decision has no "Details" section. Reassigning to chairs for clarification regarding what exactly it is they want me to do.

"Here, the term "sidebar hyperlink" is not specified anymore in the spec 
at all, and thus this paragraph should be removed."

The chairs agree that this is the change that the proposal is asking for.
