At this stage implementations haven't changed, is there any indication that they will? I sympathise with your point that having a single behaviour in all contexts is nice for libraries, but I'm not sure it's the path forward. My (admittedly somewhat dated) experience with trying to use off-the-shelf libraries in e.g. image/svg+xml contexts when they were created and tested for HTML is that they tend to fail for all sorts of reasons already. This tells me it's just not something do, and I don't think we should be encouraging it. We should be transitioning people to sending SVG and friends as text/html (with matching syntax) and just have XMLDocument and its ilk specified as they exist today and slowly pushed down the road to obsolescence. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
