Attribute spec 2.0

[Reza Naghibi <re...@apache.org>]

So I went ahead and threw some attributes together for our 2.0 release.

https://wiki.apache.org/devicemap/AttributeSpec2

These are specific to:

-devices
-operating systems
-browsers

Still at the rough draft brainstorming phase, so I expect these attributes
to change and evolve until we reach agreement.

Please go ahead and edit as you see fit or just reply to this thread.

Thanks!

Hi,

Apache Wiki is unbearable slow, so let me add a few thoughts here first. I
doubt with the bad performance of the Wiki I'd be able to edit them there
at least not before my flight.

- display_width or _height.
I would not bake the name of a unit into the attribute, but similar to CSS (
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#absolute-lengths) we could add such
information to our attribute. Either in one field or as a value/unit pair,
which could make retrieving the numeric part easier.

If UA info allows it, having knowledge of the browser's HTML capabilities
would be nice. Either someting like "supports_html5" or a "html_version" at
least as optional attribute sounds good. I also have slides about HTML5 in
Rome, as of now, knowledge if a device supports HTML5 or not, is up to a
particular solution.

- is_phone I would say this is important. It tells less about the size or
form factor of the device, but IMHO simply states, if you can make a phone
call with this device or not. It may be exotic, but some web apps or sites
offer special "call this number" buttons. Android also does I believe, so
tweaking such feature based on the device being a phone or not sounds good.

Cheers,
Werner
