[whatwg] video tag: pixel aspect ratio

[Kristof Zelechovski]

We could also say that specifying only one coordinate has no effect.  I
think the requirement that both attributes have to be present or absent
cannot be specified in a document type definition (if someone would like to
have one nevertheless).

I still don't understand why the spec has to define each and every
parser algorythm (IMO, it should only define the syntax, and then the
implementation should define its own algorythm that parses that syntax
as defined); but if that's the issue then a microsyntax can be
perfectly avoided by splitting the argument into two separate ones,
such as pixelratiox and pixelratioy.


The only issue I have with splitting it into separate ones, is that we need
to
ensure that both exist or none exist, having just X or just Y is clearly
confusing
and should not be allowed.
