Actually, it would make the Gecko parser more complicated, because there would have to be a special "get the next token even if it's a comment" tokenizer mode or something. Right now getting the next token can always skip over comments, which it wouldn't be able to do with your proposed change. So I don't think this is simpler for parsers, in general. It might be simpler for _your_ particular idea of a parser, perhaps. -BorisReceived on Tuesday, 28 August 2012 21:00:54 UTC
