Based on this and your feedback regarding your experience with HTML5 parsing in Gecko, I've changed the spec to not use taint. Because this results in charaacter tokens being collected before processing, and because a number of other places need to have character tokens separated at whitespace boundaries, I ended up speccing this as a new insertion mode for tables specifically that just collects the tokens and then processes them. I don't especially like this, and it won't match how it's implemented in practice, but the alternative (redefining the tokeniser to pop out string tokens with a flag to decide when it should do whitespace splitting or not) would have been much more invasive and error-prone, so I decided it was for the best. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
