Except you glossed over the part where we go and modify the id itself. <div id="A+B"></div> -> <div id="A.2BB"></div> <div id="A B"></div> -> <div id="A_B"></div> That's not part of html. > > we already have the related code saying that only urls matching our > > protocol whitelist are allowed. > > Adding or removing something from a whitelist is not the same as *changing* > something with something else that has a *different* meaning.

They are two completely different things. With the former, two users on different browsers may see two different things even though they are given the same markup. With the latter, two users on different browsers will always see the same thing, even if that output is not completely what they would expect. The later is much more reliably consistent. It's easy to fix something that looks broken right in front of you. While fixing an issue that doesn't look broken when you look at it is really hard. > > And manually replacing only the things that are > > actually broken is simpler than replacing everything. > > What about *not* breaking anything? You just contradicted yourself. You just said that you were ok with align being removed from the whitelist. Yet that breaks things. It's still a valid point that translations still work in most situations -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
