Then is "error" really an appropriate word? If an interpretation is defined for something, how much sense does it make to call it an error? And, of course, it's completely impossible for every browser to produce the same output, unless "the same" is taken in a ludicrously relaxed sense. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTMLmo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

I thought the HTML5 principle is that every browser should produce the same output regardless of whether the document was syntactically valid, and that is why they define error cases in such detail. I think there is also a principle that pre-HTML5 invalid pages should produce results similar to those on mainstream pre-HTML5 browsers. ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

Thomas Dickey: but in the meantime, the html5 crowd declared that iso-8859-1 is identical to cp1252 I, too, think the crowd crazie, for other reasons besides: when I heard of this crowd I glanced at the website, and found great effort exerted on the meaning of strings that had been considered bad HTML, say text between and , with the webbrowser free to make any interpretation of it. Furthermore, I looked for limitless nesting, as the deprecated is allowed within , to the webbrowser s limits, and found that such limitless nesting is not and never shall be part of HTML, right after claims that the element structure allows that--but only in style! Sounds as if one has to use something like MSoft Word to generate it, because Word well fakes nesting by means of indenting.

Just because a Microsoft program generates something does not mean it's compatible with non-Microsoft software, and sometimes does not even mean it's compatible with other Microsoft software, and certainly does not mean it's correct. My point was the perversity of Microsoft software. HT is almost useless in HTML, it is only another space. ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
