Re: [AGENDA] EPUB 3 Working Group (EPUB3WG) Teleconference - 18 Dec 2020

For Play Books.

*  A. Is your reading system capable of rendering EPUBs that contain HTML
that is not well-formed XML? *

Currently "no" -- epubcheck is part of the ingest pipeline and would fail
such content.  XML processing tools are currently used in the ingest
pipeline.


*  B. Is your reading system capable of ingesting such EPUBs? Does your
toolchain depend on all content documents being well-formed XML? *

Such content would not currently get past the front door.

However, if EPUB 3.3 were to add HTML serialization, we would embark on the
(non-trivial) effort to support non-XML content.

Best,
   Garth
