Henry S. Thompson scripsit:
> Should we review?
I don't see any reason to do so. This draft just adds one to the
existing list of magic public identifiers that XHTML parsers are supposed
to treat specially. As far as I can tell, the behavior specified at
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-xhtml-syntax.html#parsing-xhtml-documents>,
though unusual, is perfectly conformant to the XML Recommendation:
This specification provides the following additional information
that user agents should use when retrieving an external entity:
the public identifiers given in the following list all correspond
to the URL given by this link. (This URL is a DTD containing
the entity reference declarations for the names listed in
the named character references section.) [The URL begins
"data:application/xml-dtd;base64,".]
[list snipped]
Furthermore, user agents should attempt to retrieve the above
external entity's content when one of the above public identifiers
is used, and should not attempt to retrieve any other external
entity's content.
