What does any version of IE have to do with determining if a given document is polyglot (X)HTML5? If the goal is to recount what documents are polyglot, inferences should be made from specs--not from IE behavior (or the behavior of any particular piece of software). If the goal is to recount how to write legacy IE-safe HTML5, the publication shouldn't pretend to be about polyglotness. Please, please, don't write another Appendix C that conflates incomplete and vague assertions about legacy browser behavior with purported XML compatibility. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
