{Highlighting this since it isn't obvious from this intent: this is a
deprecation
trial for sites that might be broken by the select parser relaxation, and
would like extra time to migrate to the new behavior. The OT will restore
the *old* behavior, while the feature launches in M134 and changes Chrome
to the *new* behavior. }

Specificationhttps://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10557

Summary

This change makes the HTML parser allow additional tags in <select> besides
<option>, <optgroup>, and <hr>. This change is in support of the
customizable <select> feature but is being shipped first because it can be
done separately and has some compat risk which I'd like to get feedback on.
This feature is gated by the temporary policy
(SelectParserRelaxationEnabled). This is a temporary transition period, and
the policy will stop working on milestone M141. Customizable select
explainer: https://open-ui.org/components/customizableselect/ I did a
compat analysis and determined that the vast majority of sites which would
see the effects of the parser changes would not have their behavior
changed. More details here: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10310 If
there are major issues with this change, I will reassess and make
adjustments to the parser as needed.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

I believe there is low interop risk because other vendors are reviewing the
proposal in WHATWG and are not objected to changing the parser behavior
here. There is a compat risk if websites are relying on the old parser
behavior. As I mentioned in the main description, I have done an analysis
and based on the websites I have investigated I believe there is low risk.
If we encounter issues then I will adjust the parser as needed.

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Goals for experimentation



Ongoing technical constraints

While the OT is going, the old parser behavior will need to be maintained.
This isn't a significant maintenance burden.


Debuggability

None
