While I can live with any of the proposed solutions here (as long as they don't break the web), I do still think that the current algorithm is needlessly complicated. Seems simpler to just drop any foster-parented content on the floor instead of inserting it where it was parsed. The argument against this that has been brought up so far was that this is more complex. However Henris email on Jan 2nd in this thread indicate that it would actually simplify the algorithm to drop the content rather than what the spec says now. Sorry for mentioning the more complex algorithm, I didn't really mean to suggest for the spec to use it. I think this case is rare enough that it's unlikely that anyone cares what we do, so we should just do whatever is simplest. / Jonas
