This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#replaced-elements There seems to be a lack of clarity around which elements can/must be "replaced elements". For example, https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#replaced-elements does not mention the `<button>` element but Mozilla apparently currently treats it as a replaced element (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060131#c5 ). It would therefore be good if the spec had a section that gave an exhaustive list of all replaced elements in HTML. (The fact that some elements are only replaced in certain cases complicates this slightly, but not insurmountably, IMHO.)
Is the only problem here <button>? Because that is bug 23893.
I can imagine that there might be other utility in having such a list, but yes, I had opened this with the <button> quandary in mind, having not known about bug 23893 at the time. So I wouldn't object to closing this.
I would be okay with a PR that adds a <div class=note> containing a paragraph and a list listing the replaced elements (defined by HTML, anyway) before "14.4.1 Embedded content". As a summary of elements that are designated as replaced elements in terms of CSS.
Fixed by https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/2857.
