14204 2011-09-19 01:53:37 +0000 Drop all mentions of the CDATASection interface since it's been dropped from DOM Core 2012-02-24 16:48:46 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML WG HTML5 spec unspecified All All CLOSED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 glenn ian annevk ayg ian mike public-html-admin public-html-wg-issue-tracking public-html-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 56959 0 glenn 2011-09-19 01:53:37 +0000 the current editor's draft specifies (in 2.2.2) that support for CDATASection interface is required as defined in [DOMCORE] (aka DOM4); however, [DOMCORE] does not define support for CDATASection and has marked it (in 11.2) as having been 'removed to simplify the DOM platform'; note also that the Document interface defined in [DOMCORE] 5.3 does not define the createCDATASection() method that was included in DOM-[23] Core; since HTML5 does in fact make numerous normative uses of CDATA and CDATASection nodes, i would suggest that [DOMCORE] (DOM4) be modified to restore support for CDATASection nodes and the Document.createCDATASection() method; 56977 1 annevk 2011-09-19 08:08:48 +0000 I'm not sure it's worth bothering with this before implementors have tried and succeeded with removing CDATASection. 58439 2 ian 2011-10-19 22:01:43 +0000 Marking REMIND based on comment 1. I'll look at this again in the future. Please feel free to reopen this before I do if there is new information (e.g. a browser has shipped with this change with no new bugs). 64545 3 ian 2012-02-24 16:33:01 +0000 I ended up doing this anyway.
