This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Consider the document <svg></svg> Unless I am misreading the spec, the </svg> tag is processed in the "An end tag, if the current node is not an element in the HTML namespace". This step causes the <svg> node to be popped from the open elements and then the processing to abort without changing the insertion mode. The subsequent EOF is then handled in the foreign content mode and so does the "Pop elements from the stack of open elements until either a math element or an svg element has been popped from the stack". However there is no such element on the stack of open elements.
