No, but it does imply semantic unity. On mulling it over I’m leaning towards it being good in this case.
Replying to @laurendw
Yes it’s a problem: the problem being that MDN is wrong :)
Replying to @laurendw
See the NOTE in w3.org/TR/html51/grou…. Repurposability is ideal (which is where MDN comes from) but not required.
Replying to @laurendw
Yeah, in Scholarly HTML it’s used for images but also tables, code, video, audio, data…

Does that work better than using figure and figcaption, the former containing the list?
Replying to @briankardell
That still doesn’t give you actually reusable semantics — only behaviour. @LeonieWatson
Replying to @briankardell
You mean by having it generate all the appropriate ARIA and RDFa stuff? @LeonieWatson
Replying to @briankardell
Yeah, I hope some day that’s the default thing you get when parsing HTML. But not quite yet! @LeonieWatson

Not really, there's only ever one heading. Also, some lists are dl. Then it gets crazier...

Do you reckon this could be added to the Web Platform Test project? It could at least be instrumental in making browsers align.

Replying to @LeonieWatson
Right, but the more I think about it, the more I reckon if the author wanted to caption the list, it must be «special», no?
Replying to @tomdale and @rbranson
The conclusion that we're stuck is demonstrably wrong though. HTML doesn't have a version either. Slow+careful does it.

@CrossrefSupport Have you changed your API usage policy recently? We’re getting 429 for things that used to be ok.
Replying to @ckoscher
Ok, I totally understand that. But is there a documented protocol for staying below the threshold? @CrossrefSupport
Replying to @ckoscher
Ok. So if I start limiting at 10 per second now I’ll be good? @CrossrefSupport
Replying to @ckoscher and @CrossrefSupport
Thanks for the info! Yeah, we search for all citations in a paper at once, so it can be ~200 per batch easily.
Replying to @ckoscher
No worries, that’s the life of those who rely on free external services! @CrossrefSupport
Replying to @ckoscher
If you want to look at my recent hits, they’d be from 209.148.63.66. But they could also come from CI or production.
Replying to @ckoscher
It’s unlikely we’d have hit you all that much, unless something went seriously haywire :)
Replying to @gsnedders
Sweet :)
Replying to @LeonieWatson
Well, this is converting from another format in which lists can either be titled or not; if the author picked titled then…
Replying to @LeonieWatson
…representing it as something captioned seems correct. That clearer?
Replying to @sebbean
There may be other incidental users too.
There I was thinking the most important thing was having cables coming out of your ears.

I ended force-embedding the fonts and resizing the pages using ghostscript-inspired violence. Brutal but fair.
