Could you point to the text in the current text/html RFC that does this, so that I could use that same text in HTML5? Also, do we want to make pages that trigger quirks mode be conforming, even if they used to be? Similarly, do we keep pages that use known-bad features like <font> conforming if they use older DOCTYPEs? Or do we want to (retroactively) make such pages less conforming, on the basis that it was a mistake to make them conforming in the first place, or on the basis that we know better now? -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
