The interwebs depends on this and since it is really trivial to make the HTML parser do this I think we should add it. It should of course be an error, etc. Examples: http://www.lex24.ilsole24ore.com/Redazione/Riforma_cpc/Riforma.html http://brand.icxo.com/htmlnews/2007/07/11/919666_1.htm http://yuanyunfu.artron.net/exhibi_2.php?aid=A0000016&wrkid=BRT000000033876 http://blog.pewitt.org/CommentView,guid,56fbd9c0-6c0b-4773-abb7-dafb40fae8a7.aspx 26377 1 ian 2009-08-12 11:05:53 +0000 This was intentionally not supported because Gecko didn't do it. When <%...%> leaks through it's usually a sign of a server-side error. I think failing loudly is a feature here. The rendering Gecko does on the first of the URLs below isn't fatal or anything (didn't check the others). 26378 2 hsivonen 2009-08-12 12:46:00 +0000 I think WONTFIXing this is a bit hasty. Are Trident and WebKit developers willing to remove support? 26384 3 hsivonen 2009-08-13 07:36:52 +0000 Given http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/207 , I agree this should be WONTFIX. 33202 4 mjs 2010-03-14 14:48:59 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
