Concerning the Slottable Slot Attribute

Hello, my name is Sir Slotten, First Duke of Slotibald and Writer of His Royal Slotness.

I am, so you may have inferred by the sheer pedigree of my name, an expert in slots. So renowned is my understanding of slottable slots that the World Wide Web Consortium of Global Web Rules and Reign Association Inc. contacted me, yours truly, to pen their technical documentation for executive web standard, The Slot Attribute.

Now, I ask you, you unslottable brain-slot humans (this is not a criticism, it is a compliment), to evaluate the enslottagen-deprived decisions of this Great High Council of Web Standards and the measle-ridden decisions of its “editor”.

This editor, this slottacious mongrel, has taken my words, put them in a deep-sea pressure chamber and breached its hull with a trident of pure stupidity.

Now, let us all gather our slots and consider the following Slot Attribute definition, the ungarbled and untouched original that I was near begged to write. Oh how unimpeachably clear it is:

The slot attribute: The slot attribute is used to assign a slot to an element: an element with a slot attribute is assigned to the slot created by the slot element whose name attribute’s value matches that slot attribute’s value.

Yes, thank you, dear slottagens, but please hold your praise. We must gnash our wisdom slots at the disgraceful “interpretation” that has now been published for all of slotkind to read. The Great Consortium’s “developer documentation” reads;

4.2.2.4 Assigning Slottables and Slots

To assign slottables for a slot slot: Let slottables be the result of finding slottables for slot. Set slot's assigned nodes to slottables; for each slottable of slottables, set slottable's assigned slot to slot."

To assign a slott: Given a slottable slottable, let slot be the result of finding a slot with slottable. If slot is non-null, then run assign slottables for slot.

What!?

This is nonslottical disgrace! I must go. I must leave. Oh I rue the anit-enslottification attempts by these flippant fools. Long live the W3C, and long may the Attribute reign.

Adieu.
