My understanding is the HTML4 compatibility is irrelevant. You're right that your suggesting something that's vague in that it allows two possibilities: one that matches reality and one that's a pleasant fiction. > How is this different from the approach in draft-abarth-mime-sniff, which also > allows both strategies? HTML5 requires the sniffing part of draft-abarth-mime-sniff. The alternate mode is for non-HTML user agents, like SIP phones. In this case, we're talking about how to interpret an HTML element, which isn't that interesting for SIP phones. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
