As outlined on one of the previous bug, we care more about not breaking scripts than we care about such a harmless invalidity: the rule that <ul>s can't be empty is a stupid one that all browsers I know of ignore (which makes perfect sense) ands which was dropped in HTML5, probably for these reasons (most of the premise of the simplified HTML5 markup is that it exploits tolerances in existing browsers' HTML parsers, AFAIK) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
