I noticed that the Web Apps spec itself contains script samples with unescaped JavaScript && operators in <pre> blocks. Considering that this is not an error in HTML 4.01 as SGML and considering that it is harmless in browsers, I think the top-level "Anything else" case under "8.2.3.1. Tokenising entities" should be split in two so that there is also an error-free case for the ASCII characters that aren't '#', aren't ASCII letters and that weren't in error in SGML-based HTML. I don't have The Handbook at my disposal right now, but the error-free case should cover at least '&', '<' and space characters. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
