Could you get it to use a locale other than Russian? @chaals

Replying to @null and @nhoizey

don't press the big orange button! ;-)

Replying to @glazou

My OS locale is en and I'm still only getting Russian (perhaps because it's en-GB). cc @chaals

Replying to @glazou

Me too :)

Replying to @glazou

I have the same except that the first is "British English". It probably has faulty locale matching :)

Replying to @null and @nhoizey

C'est ce que j'en avais deviné grâce à "Mozilla Firefox". Du coup j'ai évité le pire.

@stevefaulkner You seem to still be using ReSpec v1 for alt-techniques. I'll fix output now, but can you upgrade for next rev please?

Replying to @stevefaulkner

I noticed you'd hacked on top of it — it introduced pubrules errors ;-)

Replying to @stevefaulkner

BTW, is role=group required on your figures? The validator doesn't like it.

Replying to @stevefaulkner

Forget that, it's a validator bug

Replying to @stevefaulkner

Nah it's ok, the bug's ours so no worries. Using old RS is more of a problem since the output is no longer accepted :)

@mnot Is there a normative definition of what should happen for a redirect on DELETE? Can't seem to track down any...

Replying to @null and @exsecrari

Hahaha. Opera is still big in mobile, especially on feature phones.

Replying to @null and @exsecrari

Everything makes sense with the right goggles.

Replying to @jreschke

Well, not defining how to process things means I can't write code against it and expect it to work… @mnot

Replying to @jreschke

Yup. I can't issue a redirect on a DELETE and expect something reasonable to happen. This makes GET action=del desirable :) @mnot

Replying to @jreschke

The user has no effing clue what a DELETE is or that I'm issuing it, nor should they… Asking them is as daft as it gets. @mnot

Replying to @jreschke

I don't have much hope that HTTP can be fixed here — I'm thinking about fixing this in XHR instead. @mnot

AppCache is on the list because it *may* be slated for a major rework. These are suggestions at the moment.

Replying to @ShaneHudson

It being on the list doesn't mean it'll end up actually at risk; it being at risk doesn't mean it'll get removed. @brucel

Replying to @ShaneHudson

At risk just means stuff we know going in is on thin ice — but it could still hold. @brucel

So that we can drop them easily if they're not implemented or interoperable. @brucel

That's using a very old version of ReSpec, and the document has configuration issues (as seen in the console).

Docs could be clearer and more centralised, but look at these: dev.w3.org/2009/dap/ReSpe…

Replying to @JeniT
