Add link to spec from README/repo #17

Closed domenic closed 6 years ago

At least from the readme. If you have permissions, also from the repository header.

I added link to spec at the top of the readme. I'm not sure what it means to "link from repository header" - any pointer?

BTW - do you think "web-lifecycle" is a reasonable name? It's a bit generic / ambiguous I think. Would "page-lifecycle" be better?

Looks good! The repository header is where it currently says "No description, website, or topics provided." See e.g. https://github.com/domenic/async-local-storage where there's a link to the spec. But, I think we probably don't have permissions to change that.

I kind of like the idea of renaming, perhaps document lifecycle to be more precise? I dunno though, we prefix a lot of specs with "web".

Updated repo header, thanks.

Regarding the naming -- I was thinking that we kind of want to capture the full document tree -- internally we use "Page" for that concept, so not sure if "Page Lifecycle" is meaningful to folks beyond Chrome people. Document sounds a bit too specific, and also has a different meaning in Blink (includes layout, paint etc): https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/blink/renderer/core/dom/document_lifecycle.h

Renamed.
