A few Qs about Specification_list

[art.b...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I recently made a few updates to [Spec_list] and the [SpecName] and [Spec2] templates. I have some Qs about a few other specs and Jean-Yves suggested I send them to this list ...

* "HTML APIS" - generally, it appears that if WHATWG has an active spec/standard, a link to its LS should be used as the url in SpecName. The following five specs - which are included in the WHATWG's HTML spec and also published by WebAppsWG - don't follow this pattern: Web Storage, HTML Web Messaging, Web Workers, Web Sockets and Server-sent Events. The first four use github/w3c/<shortname> for their url and the last one uses w3.org/TR/<shortname> (where <shortname> is, for example "webstorage"). Should the urls for these specs be changed to links to the HTML LS (f.ex. Web Storage would use <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webstorage.html#webstorage>)? If this change is made, perhaps the status for these specs would be (using webstorage as an example) "LS Living Standard (also REC Recommendation)". WDYT?

* Selectors API L2 - WebAppsWG stopped working on this spec several years ago and published a "Working Group Note". The expectation is the spec's features would be included in DOM. As such, perhaps the url should use the DOM LS. Additionally, the status is WD which isn't accurate but it doesn't appear "WG Note" is supported by Spec2. Perhaps the status should be something like "DOM LS Living Standard (also WG Note)".

* Progress Events - the url correctly uses the XHR LS but the status says CR. Since a REC for this was published but no further work by W3C is being done, perhaps the status should be changed to something like "LS Living Standard (also REC Recommendation)".

-Thanks, ArtB
