http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14087 --- Comment #7 from David Carlisle <davidc@nag.co.uk> 2011-09-08 20:05:36 UTC --- > David > > I don't believe that MathML is the only group using Element. Only SVG and MathML occur in conforming HTML5 documents unless extended by applicable specifications. > > And until such time as the document is hosted within the W3C, it should remain > in the HTML5 specification. _where_ it is specified is important, but a minor issue compared to _what_ is specified. The technical issue with bug 11204 is that innerhtml (and similar methods) was not defined on a math element (which is a regression: if you used math with html4 it would be an unknown HTMElement and thus (as implemented commonly) acquire innerHTML). The resolution that was suggested by the editor (in this bugzilla, last December, so you were incorrect to suggest that the HTML WG had no notice of the change) was to not specify these methods in the html spec, so they would be available in a DOM spec to be defined for all applicable elements. If you are not happy with the resolution of that you should re-open bug 11204 and suggest a different resolution. > > Or at least that's the reason why I submitted this bug. You are of course free to raise whatever bugs you wish, although personally I believe this one ought be marked invalid as the suggestion that this change was not flagged in the appropriate W3C forum is invalid, although of course you are correct to point out that the editors draft isn't hosted at w3c. The public version of the editor's draft of MathML wasn't hosted at W3C either, Editor's drafts have no formal standing, they should be located wherever the editor finds convenient. If the draft is taken up there would I assume be a draft hosted by a suitable body, preferably w3c at some point. -- 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.
