masayuki-nakano left a comment (w3c/editing#546) > In Firefox they are in a strange state: the <title> allows the user to place the caret like it's an editable field, but no changes can be made, `<title>` cannot have any elements. E.g., `<br>` cannot be appear. So, supporting its editing requires to add a lot of check for a lot of editing commands. So, unless it's used by major web apps, we don't have much time to support it. > and the <style> (at least on Windows) allows new characters to be typed but characters can't be deleted. Well, it's not intentional. I've seen a bug report about editing `<style>` elements. So, probably I didn't try to disable the editing in `<style>`. Perhaps, it's just a bug that you cannot delete text in `<style>`. > Case 1 Oh, this is unexpected case for me. `contenteditable="false"` was roughly implemented in Firefox, but I've never sort the behavior out for compatibility. I mean, Firefox does not support `contenteditable="false"` cleanly yet. > Case 2 I think the structure of `<head>` should not be editable to avoid various compat issues when they are modified. If there are some requirement for implementing web apps about the editing of meta data, WG needs to consider how they should be editable and what should happen if `<script>` and `<style>` are modified. However, I don't think that's required by usual web apps... -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/editing/issues/546#issuecomment-5406105865 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
