'Partial support' and 'Disabled by default'

[saschanaz]

Sometimes there are some notes like 'Partial support in Firefox refers to being disabled by default' as in SPDY item (http://caniuse.com/#feat=spdy). However, items including Web Audio, the 'disabled by default' browsers are treated as 'no support', as Firefox 21 partially supports it but with the option media.webaudio.enabled.

I think it's better to clarify this in the guidelines for contributing document.

I think additional

• d - not enabled by (d)efault

is also good, because sometimes some browsers disable some features because they are yet in WD status, while perfectly support current specifications.

But in that case, browsers that support a feature partially, not by default, and with prefix, would be marked as a d x? It sounds more complicated OoO

Chrome is moving away from vendor prefixs and set to use flags to enable in-development CSS features. It would therefore be a good idea to further discuss this.

I would be in favour of items that require setting a flag having their own notation as @saschanaz suggests.

Just added "d" as a possible value. For now it's added to a "n" and does not specify whether it's partial or not (doesn't seem as important since it won't be for all users anyway)

[saschanaz]

Good, I agree that it wont' be for all users, but at least users would be able to know that the implementation is ongoing.
