https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21818 --- Comment #8 from Michael[tm] Smith <mike@w3.org> --- Speaking as a validator developer, I don't like this change at all and it's disappointing to see it landing prematurely. It introduces an unnecessary incompatibility with the WHATWG spec, and it's highly unlikely that the WHATWG spec is going to change based just on the arguments presented in this bug. I don't think Leif has demonstrated why the change is needed (the arguments presented in comment 3 are not convincing) nor worked to try to get consensus about it. (In reply to comment #0) > JUSTIFICATION: This encoding declaration is more robust than the > meta@charset declaration. Therefore we want this method in Polyglt Markup. > But to allow it in Polyglot Markup, it must first be permitted in the HTML5 > proper. I suggest then that the Polyglot spec be turned into an extension spec, and then you can override requirements in the HTML spec. I think making further changes to the HTML spec itself to accommodate the Polyglot spec is not a good idea. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
