Hola,

I am trying to add to the spec information of a new standardized meta name for subtitle. You can find context here. This would add a document.subtitle and a new standard name to the meta tags that would allow developers to specify contextual information of the running web app.

They constitute small changes and I am trying to understand if there is ant prettifier I should run on the source to make sure it is in the right format.

The current changes are in main...diekus:html:main, woudl you be so kind to guide me in what are the next seps I should do to get this into the spec?

Thank you

Diego

The next steps are to get your change implemented in two engines, with agreement to ship.

Hola @domenic ,

We've updated the document app-title feature. I've discussed the feature with our Webkit friends and as of now Mozilla's position about the feature is to defer and Webkit's is neutral.

I'd like to get some discussion ongoing about this feature in hopes of adding this value to the standard meta names registration, as the HTML spec reads "If the name is for something expected to have processing requirements in user agents; in that case it ought to be standardized." Since this value requires the UA to process and set the text after the application's name, then by definition it can't be set to the MetaExtensions and would need to be in the HTML spec under standard metadata names.

Considering there is no opposition to the proposal, and we've made changes to the initial API, I'm bringing back this topic to the top for discussion.

As per https://whatwg.org/working-mode#changes you'll need sufficient implementer interest which it seems like you don't have at the moment. (Although standards-positions is not always a proxy for what gets implemented, so maybe you do?)
