--- Comment #7 from Eliot Graff <eliotgra@microsoft.com> 2010-10-29 20:04:17 UTC ---
The spec currently says:

(from the Abstract) 
A document that uses polyglot markup is document that is a stream of bytes that
parses into identical document trees (with the exception of the xmlns attribute
on the root element) when processed as HTML and when processed as XML. Polyglot
markup that meets a well defined set of constraints is interpreted as
compatible, regardless of whether they are processed as HTML or as XHTML, per
the HTML5 specification. 

(from the 2nd paragraph of SOTD)
This document summarizes design guidelines for authors who wish their XHTML or
HTML documents to validate on either HTML or XML parsers, assuming the parsers
to be HTML5-compliant. This specification is intended to be used by web
authors. It is not a specification for user agents and creates no obligations
on user agents. Note that this recommendation does not define how
HTML5-conforming user agents should process HTML documents. Nor does it define
the meaning of the Internet Media Type text/html. 


Please provide further info about how you’d like this changed.

I appreciate your feedback,

Eliot
