https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15047 Summary: Common microsyntaxes parsing rules allow non-numeric trailing characters Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: sylvaing@microsoft.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org PROBLEM ------- The rules defined in section 2.5.4 [1]seem to allow numbers followed by any non-numeric characters i.e. not only is "41 " valid, but so is "41xyz". Both evaluate to 41. A value such as "41q20" would also evaluate to 41. This is because what follows the collected sequence of numeric character is never checked. It is unclear why a sequences of number followed by any non-numeric character should be valid. PROPOSED SOLUTION ----------------- Once the algorithm is done collecting the last numeric sequence and before returning a value, it should: - Skip whitespace - If position is *not* past the end of input, return an error.
