Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/links.html Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html#atom Comment: step 8: be explicit about the order in which things are located and removed Posted from: 81.234.240.182 by philip@foolip.org
If one isn't paying attention when implementing this step, one might first remove a header element, then find and remove the first element of heading content. This would be wrong in a case like this: <article> <header> <h1>Title</h1> <time pubdate ...></time> </header> Text <h1>Second title</h1> More text </article> (One might mistakenly remove the second h1 element as well.)
