But the current thread requires we consider both parsers (HTML5 and XML) and a lot more. You jump in here and assume we don't have these tidbits of wisdom, but if you read the thread thoroughly you would have seen all of the participants already understand what you're saying. Its insulting. The point Henri, is you took a thread about something else and turned it into a discussion about the parser. It wasn't about the parser until you arrived. The confusion was introduced when you made it about the parser. It was about HTML5 UAs (bigger than the parser). You are fascinated by these facts that we all understand. We are here because we bring certain expertise about this. I have found insight in almost every post I read here. Yet I get the feeling that every- time you read someone else's post here, you assume they don't have a clue. Then you provide "answers" that we already know. And you've been complaining about the volume of email on the list. Responding to posts by assuming everyone else doesn't understand, only multiplies the number of posts here, as we try to clarify that a thread isn't as novice as you think it is. Take care, R0b
