Please spec that 'default-style' can be defined either by the server or by a META declaration. 34540 1 xn--mlform-iua 2010-04-05 12:51:58 +0000 The link to HTML4 was meant to be: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles#h-14.2.1 As part of the solution to this bug, please say that if the value of the default-style META declaration is the empty string, <META http-equiv="default-style" content="<emptystring>"> then the user agent will go an look for what the http-header says. (This is how Mozilla browsers behave, and is also congruent with what the spec says about how user agents should behave whenever the META 'content-language' declaration is the empty string.) 34563 2 xn--mlform-iua 2010-04-05 18:38:26 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > The link to HTML4 was meant to be: > http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles#h-14.2.1 > > As part of the solution to this bug, please say that if the value of the > default-style META declaration is the empty string, > > <META http-equiv="default-style" content="<emptystring>"> > > then the user agent will go an look for what the http-header says. > > (This is how Mozilla browsers behave, and is also congruent with what the spec > says about how user agents should behave whenever the META 'content-language' > declaration is the empty string.) It turns out that this claim about Mozilla was incorrect. The following http-equiv, <META http-equiv="default-style" content="<empty-string>"> will make the following style sheet <style title="<empsty-string>">...</style> the preferred style sheet! (Tested in Webkit and Mozilla.) 34829 3 ian 2010-04-13 00:05:52 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
