Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: IIRC we have been following what browsers do in other cases already. There were also some discussions about supporting HTML5 (see e.g. #7311 and #11113) and the strict vs non-strict mode introduced in Python3.
Note that changing the way things are parsed is generally not backward-compatible, but you might argue that new behavior is useful enough to break some hackish code that was trying to workaround the limitations of HTMLParser. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue670664> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
