Week 12/13: Staged WHATWG patches for HTML5.1

Hi all,

I am a bit behind with applying WHATWG changes. So, today I am just
informing you about the new changes I have picked that were made before the
beginning of April. This takes us to commit 7783 [1]. (Ian is now at 7805.)


The following patches were applied to HTML5.1:

*  Add 'dragexit' event similar to what Firefox does. (7760)
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/799c5159f6402d2a9d843cd562dbdada19a656c3
closes: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19041

* Resolve some issues between document.referrer and application cache.
(7762)
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/f09276e189ea8c5cfc4a26f31855b89d384143ad

* Refactor the whitespace removal algorithm. (7763)
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/225ca73e099d29f2ab6084655298cac999f9e3b5

* Add a note that synchronous sections don't spin the event loop. (7764)
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/256a5b9596133149f791f20f7274cd55e9ea248c

* 'display' of input[type=hidden] should always have computed value of
'none' (7765)
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/fdbd1ebd930b5b273c91097e2079d716bac69bf9

* Move the presence checking into the IDL for pushState’s third argument
(7767)
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/54524c9626a8493598b4162266a54a6e3cd64ff9
Improvement on https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18271

* Parser change: Handle fragment case for non-HTML nodes. (7768)
Setting innerHTML on an SVG element will parse into HTML elements. Since
innerHTML is available on Element now, we should check if the context
element is an SVG element (or MathML element) other than foreignObject
(etc) and use the foreign lands insertion.

with MIMESNIFF. (7769)

RFCs. (7770)

prefer the cached copy of the real resource over a fallback resource if
both exist. (7772)
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/95019e72d2ba36a851da34cedc6a742d576c3c50
