I has been brought to my attention that https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_XML_Data_Islands_in_Mozilla looks like a Mozilla endorsement of putting random stuff between <xml> and </xml> tags in text/html content.
Neither the new HTML parser nor the old HTML parser has any explicit support for <xml>...</xml>. It's just invalid and unknown markup. It would be more appropriate for developer.mozilla.org to present how to put XML content into an HTML5 "data block" (i.e. <script type="application/xml">...</script>) and parse it using DOMParser. This approach would work properly in Firefox, WebKit, Opera and IE9. Do we have some kind of standard operating procedure for dealing with misleading docs? I'm a bit shy to just delete or overwrite the old doc on my own initiative. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-documentation mailing list dev-documentation@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-documentation
