Description Michael[tm] Smith 2009-08-06 09:58:47 UTC
The "Tree construction" section requires that <iframe> elements be parsed as CDATA elements, so the list of CDATA elements in the "Writing HTML documents" section should include <iframe>.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2009-08-08 01:05:00 UTC
No, <iframe> isn't CDATA for syntax purposes, only for parsing. From a syntax point of view, it's more like <noscript>:

"When used in HTML documents, the allowed content model of iframe elements is text, except that invoking the HTML fragment parsing algorithm with the iframe element as the context element and the text contents as the input must result in a list of nodes that are all phrasing content, with no parse errors having occurred, with no script elements being anywhere in the list or as descendants of elements in the list, and with all the elements in the list (including their descendants) being themselves conforming."
