I don't understand why a separate rel value would be beneficial. > What would be the markup for the scenario you are explaining? Exactly the same as any other time when prerendering is used. Like I said, no magic needed. So I believe the markup would be <link rel=prerender href="..."> > And what would be the fallback for non JS user agents (cue accessibility and > HTTP scripting here)? The same as any other time when prerendering is used. The fallback would simply be that the next page is loaded at normal speed, rather than being prerendered. The only thing that the page would have to do special here when the initial page attempts to send a message to the prerendered page about which bug's data to load, if the API for talking to the message channel is missing, don't do anything. > If I do > <link rel='prerender' href='http://example.org/nextbug0001.html'/> > > How the server knows it has to send the template or the full HTML page? You include that information in the URL.

The same as for any other time prerendering is used. I'm definitely getting the impression that we're still talking past each other. I guess maybe me or you are misunderstanding how the prerendering spec is defined. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
