XXX * ability for a web app to save a file to the local disk:

XXX * define how to handle APNGs that have out-of-order aDATs and other
errors in image formats, since pav and vlad refuse to define it for APNG:
<Hixie> vlad: you should define what the UA should do with out-of-order aDATs
<pav> its an error
<pav> pretty sure we say that somewhere
<Hixie> yes i know it's an error
<Hixie> but that doesn't say what the UA should do
<pav> error == image is invalid
<vlad> yep
<vlad> either broken image icon
<vlad> or display first frame (fall back to normal PNG)
<vlad> up to the UA
<Hixie> right
<Hixie> you should say which one
<pav> its up to the UA
<Hixie> why?
<vlad> "SHOULD display the first frame, but MAY display broken image icon if that's not convenient", in rfc parlance
<vlad> because it's not useful to specify that, IMO
<Hixie> up to the UA means one UA will implement something, it'll become a popular UA, then all the others will have to copy it.
<vlad> how a UA wants to handle image errors is up to the UA
<pav> we're designing an image format, not the html image tag
<pav> the html spec should say what to do with it
XXX * <title site="" publisher="" author="">Page Title</title> ?
XXX * [onclick] should make element focusable; enter should send onclick ?
XXX * should have some text talking about the fact that it's ok if your
page passes through a period of non-conformance while script is
running, but that in between scripts it should be compliant.
XXX * mousedown's default action is focus, so canceling mousedown stops
focus transference. http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/
XXX * <select><option><hr> support?

XXX * need to properly xref events throughout
XXX * onclick="" only fires if it is a MouseEvent ?

an algorithm's name or not ("</dfn> algorithm", "</span> algorithm")

U+1234 FOO BAR ("<code title="">foo</code>") character
U+1234 FOO BAR ('<code title="">foo</code>') character

0x12 ("foo")
0x12 ('foo')
0x12 (ASCII "<code title="">foo</code>")
0x12 (ASCII '<code title="">foo</code>')
0x12 ("<code title="">foo</code>")
0x12 ('<code title="">foo</code>')
XXX * check case of hex characters in the ASCII cases.
XXX * trim function in JS for strings to remove spaces
XXX * date checking functions in JS (.isValidDate?)

v2 * a fairly common situation for web authors is to have two lists, where
the contents of the second depends on the value of the first. Is there
any way we could extend the current model to include this functionality?

v2 * Oh, and forms need a standardized Help widget/icon. I know I can
turn my cursor into a question mark, but I'm looking for something
simple and pervasive. Maybe you can wrap fields in a help tag, just
as you do for fieldsets. And in that help tag, attributes are
available that allow for a nice, formatted, clean, full help text
popup/area/thing.

like this would also be useful e.g. for <output> or something so
you can display localised dates, etc.

validation of this?
XXX * <input type="search">

that you can have selects that require a valid value.
XXX * Dave Raggett inadvertently suggested there should be a way to submit
canvas elements.

invoke the JSON serialiser), or in the form of a method on
HTMLFormElement that returns the form data set serialised
according to a particular encoding (defaulting to the form's
enctype="" one, probably). This would allow forms to be used
with XHR-like systems without having to manually construct the
form data set the way that is done today.
