http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10803 --- Comment #6 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2010-11-29 19:35:33 UTC --- Opera doesn't seem to do this: http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/parsing/encoding/101.html http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/parsing/encoding/102.html In any case, I'm not arguing that the majority of browsers don't do this. I agree that if the only goal here was to write a spec that exactly matched legacy implementations that it would make sense to do this. My point is just that this is a lot of additional complexity and that the world would be better if we could move away from it. Having a simpler spec leads to a more competitive marketplace, and this is an area where the complexity is already heinous. A compatibility argument here should be based on demonstrated need, not the proxy of implementations. The proxy of implementations is a good shortcut to use when the available options are otherwise equivalent. In this instance, they are not. -- 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.
