http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5944 Summary: Unclear wording, section 8.2.3.1 Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Spec bugs AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org ReportedBy: bugmail@entai.co.uk QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: ian@hixie.ch, mike@w3.org, public-html@w3.org Section 8.2.3.1, "The insertion mode", is somewhat unclear: > Seven of these modes, namely "in head", "in body", "in table", "in table body", > "in row", "in cell", and "in select", are special, in that the other modes > defer to them at various times. When the algorithm below says that the user > agent is to do something "using the rules for the m insertion mode", where m is > one of these modes, the user agent must use the rules described under that > insertion mode's section, but must leave the insertion mode unchanged (unless > the rules in that section themselves switch the insertion mode). The last sentence caused a little confusion whilst implementing. I suggest that it be changed to something closer to: (changed text in asterisks) "When the algorithm below says that the user agent is to do something "using the rules for the m insertion mode", where m is one of these modes, the user agent must use the rules described under that insertion mode's section, but must leave the insertion mode unchanged *unless the m insertion mode's rules change it.*" -- 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.
