There is an implementation issue related to inline global rules specified inside a script element in HTML: an html document (HTML4 and html5) will have have a DOM representation of such an element as a script element having one only text node child, while all XHTML documents (1.0, 1.1, 5) will trigger XML parsing of the inline ITS rules and have the corresponding elements in the its namespace inside the script element... I tested this with all major modern browsers and the behaviour described above is what I see using the browsers' developer tools. That is an issue because it forces implementations to apply very different processes depending on the flavor of html used by the document to apply ITS rules to the document. It's also an issue for content editors because the editing and the serialization of inline rules is totally different depending on the html flavor. I don't really know how to fix this. If I understand the usefulness of inline global ITS rules, the above make them somehow painful to implement for HTML documents in the wider sense. </Daniel>
