11411 2010-11-26 12:56:54 +0000 The encoding sniffing algorithm doesn't match the 'in head' insertion mode in some case when <meta> has both charset and content attributes 2011-08-04 05:17:28 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML WG LC1 HTML5 spec unspecified All All RESOLVED FIXED P2 critical --- 1 hsivonen ian ian mike public-html-admin public-html-wg-issue-tracking public-html-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 42790 0 hsivonen 2010-11-26 12:56:54 +0000 In 'in head', if the value of the charset attribute is a supported ASCII-compatible character encoding or a UTF-16 encoding, the charset attribute takes precedence over the content attribute. However, in the encoding sniffing algorithm the last one of charset and content takes precedence and, furthermore, if charset comes before content, both get ignored if http-equiv="Content-Type" isn't present also. Please make the encoding sniffing algorithm match the processing in the 'in head' insertion mode. 43174 1 ian 2010-12-08 01:27:08 +0000 It'll never match exactly, since the scanner doesn't do all kinds of stuff (e.g. skip <script>). But I'll see what I can do. 44109 2 ian 2011-01-11 06:02:58 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
