371662 - Use the file's first binding if no fragment identifier is present in the extends attribute

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XBL, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Attachment: testcase

Bug 366770 is now fixed, so I was thinking, it seems to me logical that this also would work for the empty extends attribute, not?

See testcase, the text should have a green background, if extends="" should point to the first binding in the file.

Thanks for having a go at this, Gavin ;)

I don't really understand why this would be useful. Bug 366770 is useful because it means you can use data: URIs to refer to a binding, and avoid having to use an external file, but there's no equivalent benefit for extends (you could just put the binding in the same file). A blank extends attribute is also potentially confusing (what it does really isn't obvious).
