Mass move to "HTML WG"
(In reply to comment #0) > Comment: > specify parsing of the template element Is the intention to integrate the parsing rules from https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/templates/index.html#parsing into HTML5 proper? Is it not sufficient to have them included in the template document itself? Alternatively, are you wanting "template" to be listed in the "special" category as we do for MathML/SVG elements which are included directly in the spec as having varying levels of special parsing rules? http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/syntax.html#special
Yes, <template> should eventually be part of the HTML parser specification.
Agree.
I agree that they should be included. Doing so is largely a matter of them being sufficiently agreed upon. If that's the case we can go ahead. Having tests would also be most helpful.

I have applied Ian's merges to keep the differences to the WHATWG spec minimal. Please review these patches: https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/8e127db936c0c5831ab8095e8badcd9e744a5b11 https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/9f276deb4a20dd605d5490bef1c0e912f319fc40 https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/434b34afabe0b3dd8a11fcfee1ef801fc1e913b9 I have left several non-normative paragraphs from the W3C merging, but marked them with <!--FORK-->. I have replaced all the normative wording with Ian's, which seemed to be more complete. Ian made a thorough list of his decisions at: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17930 Please review!
