Ian's original reworking of the spec to include the defintion of compatibility caseless matching was intended to cover the matching that's seen in Internet Explorer, where some form of normalization is used. In the testcase below, note how cyrillic radio group names match both with and without diacritics in Internet Explorer: http://people.mozilla.org/~jdaggett/tests/radiobuttonnamecase.html The problem is that what the spec defines isn't really what IE implements and certainly not what other browsers do. Other browsers are equally confused about what exactly to do here: Webkit bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90617 Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727346 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
