Are the CSS entries auto-updated?

[tabatkins]

I want to fix all the CSS entries to use the proper shortnaming, and have unversioned shortnames aliasing the latest versioned shortname. Are they currently maintained by an auto-update, such that my changes would be wiped out? If so, anything I can do about it?

If not, expect a decent-sized PR in the near future.

@tabatkins: yes (most) W3C entries are automatically generated, so any changes you make will be wiped out. The script is not nice to look at, as it had to deal with legacy hand-authored content, RDF parsing, TR/ inconsistencies, and what not, but that's where change should be made. Note that I think W3C's RDF has the data to do all the proper aliasing, I just haven't looked into yet (but there's an issue open for it: #31):

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-ruby-1/">
    <formerShortname>css3-ruby</formerShortname>
    <sameWorkAs rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ruby/"/>
</rdf:Description>

Happy to look more into it if you can confirm the above data is what you're looking for.

For reference, here's what the W3C's RDF provides me with in terms of data (after copious massaging):

There's a bunch of issues still, including some recursive madness for which I filed a ticket against sysreq.

My plans would be to ship this asap, then have you add the missing ones directly in biblio.json. We'll special case any issues that sysreq can't fix in the script itself. LMK if that works for you.

/cc @deniak for the circular madness, see below:

css3-fonts => css3-webfonts
css-fonts-3 => css3-webfonts
xmlenc-core1 => xmlenc-core
ttml1 => ttaf1-dfxp
css-namespaces-3 => css3-namespace
css3-webfonts => css-fonts-3
ttaf1-dfxp => ttml1
xmlenc-core => xmlenc-core1
css3-namespace => css-namespaces-3

[tabatkins]

Modulo those problematic ones, this looks OK. I can fix the rest myself.

So @deniak fixed the problematic ones. I'm now trying to get this into the auto-updating script. Will update this issue as soon as it's fixed and deployed.
