I would love it if we had a design principle that described the fact that we're writing the spec to support the authors that tests their pages by running them in a browser, rather than by checking that they comply with the spec. See a more detailed description in [1], but the short of it is that we are generally avoiding leaving things explicitly or implicitly undefined and hoping that authors won't rely on it. Instead we are trying to define things in great detail to increase the chances that a HTML document that works in one complying HTML UA, will also work in another. / Jonas [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Jun/0167.html
