http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12072 --- Comment #9 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> 2011-02-16 17:42:39 UTC --- (In reply to comment #8) > (In reply to comment #1) > > An advantage which a forbidding of comments before the DOCTYPE provides, is > > that it would largely kill off X-UA-COMPATIBLE meta elements from having any > > effect in legal HTML5 syntax. > > I think you've got a misconception. The meta switch in IE does not need any > Conditional Comments. I said spoke about "legal HTML5 syntax". The meta X-UA-COMPATIBLE element is makes your document non-conforming to HTML5. Thus, in order to be conforming to the HTML5 syntax rules, it is necessary to wrap the X-UA-Compatible META element inside a conditional comment which you place before the DOCTYPE. To wrap the X-UA-COMPATIBLE inside a conditional comment inside <head> makes no sense: it doesn't work. -- 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.
