Quoting Ian Hickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The first draft of the HTML5 Parsing spec is ready.

Great!


It's not 100% complete. Some of the things that need work are:

  Interaction with document.open/write/close is undefined
  How to determine the character encoding
  Integration with quirks mode problems
  <style> parsing needs tweaking if we want to exactly match IE
  <base> parsing needs tweaking to handle multiple <base>s
  <isindex> needs some prose in the form submission section
  No-frames and no-script modes aren't yet defined
  Execution of <script> is not yet defined
  New HTML5 elements aren't yet defined
  There are various cases (marked) where EOF handling is undefined
  Interaction with the "load" event is undefined

However, none of the above are particularly critical to the parsing.

Attribute parsing is. And there are some special cases made for that here and
there. It would be good if that was specified as well.


And if all the browsers implement the same
parsing model, then HTML interoperability on the Web will take a huge leap
forward. T'would be save everyone a lot of time.

Would be a good thing indeed.
