Hello! Several comments on 5.6 Command APIs...
1) Typo: "insertOrderedList" is listed as a heading twice. The second
instance should be "insertUnorderedList".
2) What's happened to the commands "indent" and "outdent"? Without
these, it's impossible to make a list of more than one level deep. I
understand being against using them to wrap non-list text in
<blockquote>, but these (or an equivalent) are needed for lists.
3) HTML 5 suggests queryCommandEnabled('Unlink') returns true with any
selection:
"Enabled When: The document has a selection that is entirely within
an editing host."
-- http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#unlink
I see no point in returning true when there are no links to remove. IE
and Opera currently only return true when the selection contains a
link. WebKit follows the current HTML 5 wording.
I suggest the line is changed to:
"Enabled When: The document has a selection that is entirely within
an editing host, which contains one or more links, or part of a link."
Cheers
Tom
