The current specification of how the tokeniser decides whether to process
CDATA sections or treat them as bogus comments relies upon the tokeniser
having access to the treebuilder's insertion mode and the current node in
the stack of open elements. I can't see any reason why there is a need for
this that couldn't be equally well served by a flag controlled by the
treebuilder (much like the existing content model flag). Therefore, I
propose the following:
Introduce a new tokeniser flag "processCDATASection", which is initially
clear.
Change the wording in the tokeniser's markup declaration open state from:
Otherwise, if the insertion mode is "in foreign content" and the
current node is not one of the following:
* An mi element in the MathML namespace.
* An mo element in the MathML namespace.
* An mn element in the MathML namespace.
* An ms element in the MathML namespace.
* An mtext element in the MathML namespace.
* A foreignObject element in the SVG namespace.
* A desc element in the SVG namespace.
* A title element in the SVG namespace.
to:
Otherwise, if the processCDATASection flag is set
Change the last sentence of the 'A start tag whose name is "math"' and 'A
start tag whose name is "svg"' cases in the treebuilder's "in body"
insertion mode to read:
Otherwise, let the secondary insertion mode be the current insertion
mode, then switch the insertion mode to "in foreign content" and set
the tokeniser's processCDATASection flag.
Change the wording in the "in foreign content" insertion mode to:
+ A start tag, if the current node is an mi element in the MathML
namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is an mo element in the MathML
namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is an mn element in the MathML
namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is an ms element in the MathML
namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is an mtext element in the MathML
namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is a foreignObject element in the
SVG namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is a desc element in the SVG
namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is a title element in the SVG
namespace.
+ A start tag, if the current node is an element in the HTML namespace.
+ A start tag whose tag name is "svg", if the current node is an
annotation-xml element in the MathML namespace.
+ An end tag
Process the token using the rules for the secondary insertion mode.
If, after doing so, the insertion mode is still "in foreign content",
but there is no element in scope that has a namespace other than the
HTML namespace, switch the insertion mode to the secondary insertion
mode.
If, after doing so, the insertion mode is not "in foreign content",
clear the tokeniser's processCDATASection flag.
Otherwise, if the current node is an mi element in the MathML
namespace or an mo element in the MathML namespace or an mn element
in the MathML namespace or an ms element in the MathML namespace or
an mtext element in the MathML namespace or a foreignObject element
in the SVG namespace or a desc element in the SVG namespace or a
title element in the SVG namespace, clear the tokeniser's
processCDATASection flag.
Otherwise, set the tokeniser's processCDATASection flag.
+ A start tag whose tag name is one of: the HTML element tag names
Parse error.
Pop elements from the stack of open elements until the current node
is in the HTML namespace.
Switch the insertion mode to the secondary insertion mode, clear the
tokeniser's processCDATASection flag, and reprocess the token.
+ Any other start tag
Apply case fixups, attribute namespace fixups.
Insert a foreign element for the token, in the same namespace as the
current node.
If the token has its self-closing flag set, pop the current node off
the stack of open elements and acknowledge the token's self-closing
flag.
If the current node is an mi element in the MathML namespace or an mo
element in the MathML namespace or an mn element in the MathML
namespace or an ms element in the MathML namespace or an mtext element
in the MathML namespace or a foreignObject element in the SVG namespace
or a desc element in the SVG namespace or a title element in the SVG
namespace, clear the tokeniser's processCDATASection flag.
Otherwise, set the tokeniser's processCDATASection flag.
John.
