Because inefficient or complexity-inducing specs cause problems, the rest, less so. If the spec isn't consistently implemented across the board, but implementing the spec is low-effort (and doesn't hit perf) for us, we can just implement it, file a spec bug, and reimplement if it ever gets fixed. Whereas if it's something like the :target or HTMLFormControlsCollection thing,we have to needlessly implement extra functionality or refactor parts of DOM introducing inefficiencies, and if the spec ever gets fixed, rip it all out. I'd prefer to avoid diverging from the spec wherever possible -- even if other browsers disagree (with the spec and with each other), implementing what the spec says (rather than picking our favorite browser and mimicing it) and filing a bug -- if it's not too hard to do so -- is what we should do. -Manish Goregaokar _______________________________________________ dev-servo mailing list dev-servo@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-servo
