I think I did, but let me try again. If we make all characters conforming (and that *is* a change from HTML4), that essentially means that we can't introduce new fragment identifier notations without changing the semantics of currently conforming documents. So if we're serious about things like "css(...)", we should warn people who use this right now. That's exactly what conformance requirements are for. -- 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.
