This makes it impossible (*) to improve handling of text/plain, such as for: - handling format=flowed (RFC 3676), - handling FF characters for printing (see <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92250>), and - handling text/plain fragment identifiers (RFC 5147). I believe the spec should allow the UA to augment the document with markup as long as the displayed text is not affected. (*) Unless the improvement could be done using CSS, which doesn't seem to be the case for the examples mentioned above. 70219 1 contributor 2012-07-18 07:10:11 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 17874 as part of operation convergence. 73883 2 robin 2012-09-14 10:49:29 +0000 Same decision as https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17874
