In general the number of font elements in the DOM grows polynomially, with the result that pages like [1] and [2] end up with hundreds of thousands of font elements.

Obviously shipping browsers don't demonstrate this behavior (nor does Firefox's HTML5 parser - see bugzilla 525960) so I'm wondering if the spec could be modified to not have this polynomial-growth behavior. It seems that the AAA has changed after the latest Java release of the Validator.nu parser. The Gecko builds have a newer version of the AAA. (I'm now trying to figure out if they have the current spec version.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
