GWG There was a question at HWC tonight about how to mark up a list of bookmarks, either on a page or in a digest style h-entry post I'm curious people's thoughts.
#
Zegnat Re: whitespace stuff. I think one of the reasons it is not going anywhere is that nobody really wants to say how HTML should be converted into plaintext. As implementations run the entire gamut from DOM’s textContent, through HTML’s innerText, to Lynx’ ascii rendering.
#
Zegnat Having done the innerText implementation, it has so many CSS dependencies, that I am a little critical of including it as the MUST implementation for mf2. It would not encourage people to write mf2 parsers.

jacky checks if microseconds are in the parsing algo
#
jacky hm they are not
#
jacky well I guess that makes sense, they're not mentioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 either
#
sknebel ah "fun" detail is that HTML5 as one of the few date specs doesn't restrict the number of digits a year has
#
sknebel as long as its >3
#
jacky ha
#
jacky talk about future thinking
#
sknebel (ISO has it as one of the "not core, but implementations/protocols can agree on allowing 5" things afair)

Murray[d] wait, so I can't backfeed content to 99AD but 100AD is just fine? Seems weird 😄
#
sknebel for less than 4 digits you just need leading zeros
#
sknebel 0099
#
Murray[d] Oh, that makes sense. I also realised you said >3 not >=3 (as I read it). Cool to know though, thanks

barnaby tries to think of a use case for microsecond-accurate dt-published
#
[tantek] aaronpk's flight paths 😂
#
sknebel barnaby: new post by LHC@Cern: "I just saw a Higgs-Boson!!!111"
#
aaronpk lolol
#
barnaby the only time I’ve done any programming which needed microsecond-accurate timing was embedded software
#
Zegnat You could put a higher precision in mf2. dt- parsing takes any string. It would just be technically invalid to use the value where HTML expects what it considers a valid time string.
#
Zegnat mf2 has never been changed to guarantee that parsed dt- values are timestamps: https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues/12
#
Loqi [tantek] #12 should dt-* parsing do date and time parsing for all values?
