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: Rejected Rationale: Irrespective of the value of the use case, I don't believe that there's a way in which we could change the parsing algorithm to make it possible for a void element to suddenly start accepting children, at least not without introducing really complex heuristics.
