I think this is fair. I'm inclined to file two bugs here: (1) Kill $wgCleanupPresentationalAttributes from MediaWiki core; "magical" transformations like this are almost always an absolutely terrible idea and should only be done when absolutely necessary (such as stripping out dangerous attributes); you're never going to catch every (edge) case and you're going to do more harm than good (and create confusion about what's magically transformed and under what conditions); I thought we established these principles with magical transformations years ago. (2) Add a tracking category for pages using invalid HTML5; this should be straightforward enough; allow wiki authors to slowly fix these pages to use better code by auto-categorizing pages that use invalid HTML5. This bug can then rot, as far as I'm concerned. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
