Ran Ari-Gur (User:Ruakh on WMF projects) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Ran Ari-Gur (User:Ruakh on WMF projects) <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #3) > Unfortunately, [...] many pages would no longer be well-formed XML [...] Why is that unfortunate? The pages are HTML, not XHTML (we're serving them as text/html, not as e.g. application/xhtml+xml), so there's no reason they *should* be well-formed XML. (See HTML5 section 1.6, or section 8.) The spec says that in the HTML syntax, the use of '/' on void elements (br, hr, img, etc.) is optional and has no effect. (See HTML5 section 8.1.2.1, clause 6.) (That's as far as the standard is concerned. Obviously we also care about browser support, but personally I find it impossible to believe that any real-world browser would stumble over '<hr>' in an HTML document.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
