Step 9.4 in the first is written as: "If position is not past the end of input, return to the top of the step labeled loop in the overall algorithm..." In the latter algorithm, it's written as: "If position is not past the end of input, return to the top of step 9 in the overall algorithm" Please write these two algorithms using consistent language. 26314 1 ian 2009-08-08 01:45:08 +0000 I would rather not make editorial changes to the algorithms since that is what leads to mistakes. 33132 2 mjs 2010-03-14 14:48:23 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
