This is clearly an example of how existing browsers are non-conformant,
Doing otherwise would result in a lot of broken pagges
Those pages are already broken. Authors just don't know it because the browsers are even more broken by being forced to deal with them.
You could also argue that they interoparate pretty well. And that it would be nonsense to break that. (Especially since no browser does it the other way around.)
and probably less market share for the browser.
I thought this was about standardisation, not some marketing gimmick for brower vendors!
O common. I just meant that nobody would win anything if a browser became conformant here. It would be a lot better to fix the specification for these instances and make HTML a more logical language.
