According to section C.3, when a document is in error, "The document SHOULD be rendered up to, but not including, the first element which has an error. [...] The animations SHOULD stop at the point at which an error is encountered.". Why are these SHOULDs, and not MUSTs? Is a user-agent compliant if, upon finding an error, it does whatever it likes with that error, including ignoring it or guessing at the author's intent? Note that section C.2, on "unsupported" values, requires "a highly perceivable warning in the user agent" as a MUST, not a SHOULD. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
