Description Stefan Schumacher 2014-10-07 05:03:46 UTC 
Now:
user agents are permitted to fail whenever encountering a parse error.
Suggestion:
None
Comment:
Would be nice to give a more detailed explanation what fail means. Fail to render an element and move on, fail to render the document at all. Fail can mean a lot.

HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: won't fix, the context is about parsing since this result is a parse error.

If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
