It may be better to segregate those errors that pertain to HTML syntax from those that apply to XML syntax into two sub-sections. Regards, Glenn 43710 1 ian 2011-01-01 05:39:13 +0000 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: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: I don't understand. Could you elaborate? Which is section 1.9.2? (The section numbers change often and are autogenerated — they don't appear in the source document I edit — so it's better to refer to the sections by name.) Assuming you mean section 1.10.2 Syntax errors: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html#syntax-errors ...then the section starts with "The syntax of HTML is constrained to avoid a wide variety of problems.", which seems to unambiguously indicate that this refers to the HTML syntax. It would in any case be inappropriate for the HTML specification to talk about the reasoning behind the decisions that led to the XML spec's error handling design, as far as I can tell. 43717 2 glenn 2011-01-01 05:51:29 +0000 I am referring to Section 1.9.2 of the W3C Working Draft 16 November 2010. The description of errors does not adequately distinguish between errors that apply to the HTML serialization versus the XML serialization.
