Hi,
I'm just wondering how you're intending to deal with <basefont>?
AFAIK, the only browser that supports it these days is IE, but it does
so by breaking the DOM (I could be mistaken, but I think NN4 supported
it too).
Considering that no other modern browser supports it and that IE's DOM
looks like this when base font is used:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>test</title>
<p><basefont face="Arial" size="3">test</p>
#comment: CTYPE ht
HTML
HEAD
TITLE
BASEFONT face="Arial"
BODY
P
#text: test
BODY (shown as error)
I think it should be made officially obsolete. It should be inserted
into the DOM as an empty element, but UAs should ignore it. UAs may
choose to support it at their own risk, but must not do so by breaking
the DOM like IE does.
