For example, the blink element ..." -- > but blink is documented in this specification There's no contraction here -- the blink element is in fact not documented in the current spec -- it's simply just listed in the context of it being among a number of non-conforming and obsolete elements, with a statement the elements "must not be used by authors". 27038 2 zcorpan 2009-09-11 06:12:10 +0000 It is documented in the rendering section. 27040 3 mike 2009-09-11 06:35:24 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > It is documented in the rendering section. OK, so maybe it should read instead, "The scope of this specification does not include documenting *in detail* every HTML or DOM feature supported by Web browsers." Do you think that would resolve the ambiguity? 27041 4 zcorpan 2009-09-11 06:57:54 +0000 <blink> doesn't have more detail to describe than what the spec already says about it. So, no. AFAICT, the spec does in fact document every HTML or DOM feature supported by Web browsers that need to be supported for Web compatibility (and aren't covered by other specs). I think the first sentence should be clearer about what the scope really is, and the example should point out something that the spec does not cover at all. 27511 5 ian 2009-09-22 10:47:29 +0000 I've removed the entire paragraph that contained <blink>. 27513 6 contributor 2009-09-22 10:49:57 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r3964.
