Matthew: Ciaran: Lick the box, type W for Wednesday.
wintermute: Matt: Nope.
wintermute: NO LICKING MY CODE!
Matthew: And it'd only align if the stronger numbers were 0-padded.
Matthew: wm: I don't see any <nolick> in there.
wintermute: <code language="javascript" nolick="nolick">
Ciaran: Matthew: I would argue that most people don't work that way, but it's academic anyway.
Ciaran: wm: You mean <script>, but, yeah. :-P
wintermute: Yeah, I do.
wintermute: If you want to argue about this, I can give you the email address of the guy who was maintaining it, the last I heard.
Matthew: wm: BODY { lick: eww; }
wintermute: LOL
Ciaran: wm: No, it's fine. It wouldn't do me any favours. ;p
wintermute: I wonder what that would do on a print media.
Matthew: Cover it in adhesive stamp material.
Matthew: I can see it now. CSS4 with flavour module.
Matthew: border-left: strawberry thick yummy
Maryam: Bye.
Maryam has left.
wintermute: The text-flavour attribute would be a popular one.
Ciaran: What would these attributes do on screen media?
Matthew: Ciaran: It's in preparation for lickscreen devices.
Ciaran: And screen readers?
Monkeyman: I didn't realize the lick attribute could be assigned a value of eww.
wintermute: Well, in that case, it converts the flavour to a braille-accessible version.
Monkeyman: I hate how busy my week has become.
Matthew: Monkeyman: Eww is a generic flavour so as not to restrict people who don't have access to your specific unpleasant tastes.
Monkeyman: Ah, OK.
Matthew: It's the serif of flavour.
wintermute: Like "yummy" or "bland".
Monkeyman: I would have thought it would be the default value, then.
Ciaran: eww would be specific to each person, though. Some people might enjoy licking stamps.
Monkeyman: Oh, OK.
Monkeyman: So not a default, then.
Zarniwoop: I suppose this is all the natural successor to Smell-O-Vision?
Matthew: Ciaran: And that is the way CSS is supposed to work.
