--- Comment #5 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2009-06-26 22:19:48 ---
Here's how I understand the situation:
* HTML5 changes HTML's processing rules such that it would break any XPath that
is currently being applied to text/html documents.
* To keep XPath 1.0 expressions working, therefore, XPath 1.0 implementations
that implement HTML5 would need to implement some changes.
* They in fact already do. For example, WebKit does what HTML5 now describes.
Personally, I would rather not have to mention XPath in the HTML5 spec; the
only reason it does mention it is to keep XPath 1.0 working.
If the XPath working group would rather this text be removed, then I would be
happy to remove it. Is that the case?
