[RFC3023]" This makes it appear that serving polyglot documents as text/html is not allowed. I don't believe that's the intent. Perhaps the sentence should be struck. Perhaps the intent it so reinforce the idea that comforming HTML5 user agents will process polyglot documents which are served as text/html by HTML5 parsing rules as opposed to XML parsing rules. Either way, this needs to be clarified. 30405 1 ian 2010-01-05 00:15:57 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
