For example, we have hasAttributes() and hasAttributesWithoutUpdate(). The last one means no update of eventually invalid attributes will take place. "WithoutUpdate" is too vague. Ryosuke Niwa proposed in IRC we could try to name those "special" attributes: 16:41 < cmarcelo> rniwa: hasAttributesWithoutUpdatingInvalidOnes()? I wouldn't want to mention the list explicitly, what if it changes. 16:42 < rniwa> cmarcelo: that's a good point 16:42 < rniwa> cmarcelo: maybe we need to give a name to the group of attributes that need to be dynamically updated 16:42 < rniwa> cmarcelo: maybe something like "RendererDependentAttribute"? 16:42 < rniwa> cmarcelo: or LayoutDependentAttributes? 16:42 < rniwa> cmarcelo: or DynamicAttribute? 16:43 < rniwa> cmarcelo: I like the last one least since every attribute is "dynamic" to some extent 16:43 < rniwa> cmarcelo: alas I don't like the fact seemingly generic word "update" is associated with a particular type of update here. 16:44 < cmarcelo> rniwa: I understand. Having a clear name for them would help a lot. 16:44 < rniwa> cmarcelo: yeah but maybe it's fine to keep "WithoutUpdate" until we agree on some good name for it 550178 1 cmarcelo 2012-02-06 12:07:48 -0800 Darin, do you have suggestions about this? 1502825 2 lforschler 2019-02-06 09:02:42 -0800 Mass moving XML DOM bugs to the "DOM" Component.
