It appears to me that this could be considered to be either a bug in
the
HTML5 parser, or in XOM.
Absent RDFa, it clearly isn't a bug in either. RDFa is what adds a
problem.
Please see my other email about how this breaks currently working HTML
documents.
Can you show me a conforming HTML 2.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.01 or 5 (as drafted
today) file (or even XHTML 1.0 Appendix C file!) that can't be usefully
mapped to existing XML APIs the way the HTML 5 spec says?
Just a brief point: how nice to see a discussion based around concrete
test cases.
That's all :)
