This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#parsing-main-inbody Comment: Please remove "dc" and "ds" from the parser. Not supporting them means that some tag can't be omitted in a transition period, which is *not* a big problem. OTOH, if we want to introduce "dc" or "ds" that are supposed to be inline (or other), then it's a problem if legacy parsers treat them as dd. Or we never introduce them and just have unnecessary weird parsing behavior for unknown tags (compare with the things HTML4 reserved for possible future use). Posted from: 83.252.193.59
Checked in as WHATWG revision r4022. Check-in comment: Remove <dc> and <ds> since forward-looking compatibility isn't popular apparently. So much for people liking extensibility... :-) http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4021&to=4022
