When the parser ends up inserting a script into a document that isn't the document whose active parser the parser is, it is inconvenient to have the parser blocking, unblocking and insertion point management stay with the parser while making the load event delaying happen with a document that isn't the document being parsed. Please make parser-inserted scripts delay the load event of the document whose active parser the inserter parser is. 39414 1 ian 2010-09-25 21:56:17 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: I agree that it may be inconvenient to implement, and I will grant that authors doing this are hardly people we should be optimising for, but wouldn't this mark the first time something could delay the load event of a document that wasn't its owner document? That seems like an invariant we should be very wary about breaking. 39721 2 hsivonen 2010-09-28 11:50:20 +0000 Did you happen to test what different browsers do?
