Looking at patches that are actually getting landed, they go far beyond this idea. See e.g. bug 79436 - "Move HTML-related APIs from DOMWindow.idl to DOMWindowHTML.idl". How is HTML a self-contained feature? I see a lot of downside in such refactoring, and don't really see any benefit: 1) It gets very hard to navigate source code, as you never know where a given function is. You can't find it, you can't see if it's even there without a full code search. 2) The division lines are very arbitrary. For example, bug 79434 moved "XML-related" APIs to a separate file, including window.XMLDocument, which is as core to DOM as it gets. 3) The moves don't respect original licenses - e.g. DOMWindowXML.idl is LGPL, while DOMWindow.idl is BSD. 4) More files means longer build times. I think that most of the patches landed under this umbrella should be reconsidered, and most immediately those that had license wrong. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
