This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
3.2.5.3 Paragraphs The following sentence is included: "Conformance checkers may warn authors of cases where they have paragraphs that overlap each other (this can happen with object, video, audio, and canvas elements)." Can this paragraph-overlap problem also happen with embed, svg and math elements? If so, they should be added to the parenthetical list.
EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: Added <svg> and <math>. I don't see how it could happen with <embed>, since <embed> can't have children.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r4571. Check-in comment: Mention that <svg> and <math> can indirectly cause nested paragraphs too if you try hard enough. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4570&to=4571
