https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15447 --- Comment #2 from Stijn van Drongelen <self@tinctorius.net> 2012-01-07 11:31:06 UTC --- I'm planning to plan (sic) to write a user agent. One of my design rules is that the agent may ignore parts of standards, if I deem those parts unnecessarily inelegant. The gist of HTML5 is good enough, but I don't want to be bothered by things like `document.write`. If parts of a website break because its author decided to use obsolete technology, it's their problem. Even if I weren't planning on bringing yet another UA to the market, I think the way `document.write` works burdens both user agent implementers and HTML5 authors with a lot of extra headaches, while (I assume) so little is gained by supporting it. I am sure that `document.write` will die some day, and we will all rejoice. The first step to killing this foul-breathed monster is to stop requiring to supporting it, especially on pages that consider themselves to be mature enough to trigger HTML5 no-quirks mode. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
