Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/ Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#the-initial-insertion-mode Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#the-initial-insertion-mode Referrer: Comment: Why are srcdoc documents not always standards mode? Posted from: 98.110.194.206 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:23.0) Gecko/20130503 Firefox/23.0
The current setup in the spec requires extra complexity to communicate the "is srcdoc document" boolean to the parser thread where the doctype tokenization is happening, and it's not clear why: are there actual use cases for quirks-mode srcdoc documents, especially given that you have to explicitly opt in with a quirks mode doctype?
Being always standards mode seems reasonable to me.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7960. Check-in comment: make srcdoc docs always be in standards mode http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7959&to=7960
