Shouldn't the <form> start tag in 'in table' be ignored if the form pointer is non-null? Shouldn't the <form> element in 'in table' set the form pointer?

(In reply to comment #3) > Please check that what I did with the end tag is also acceptable. The end tag handling doesn't remove the form element from the stack in this case: <form><table></form> Presumably, there's a reason why the element is removed from the stack in the non-table case. Why shouldn't the end tag case just fall through to the 'in body' mode as part of 'anything else'?

Thanks, I knew I was getting something wrong there.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r4528. Check-in comment: let in-body handle </form> in table, since that works correctly. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4527&to=4528
