- userbinator 9y agoInteresting comment there: I discovered, the hard way, that the Android Gmail client, using naked HTML (with a default naked DTD specification), does exhibit this problem. It only responds to <img /> [i.e., not <image />]. gmail.com is fine with <image />, but not the Android gmail client. Looks like a fingerprinting opportunity to me.
- nostrademons 9y agoIt's in HTML5 as well, but is converted at tokenization time to <img> and a parse error is recorded. https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110113/tokenization.html#tokenization https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110113/tokenization.ht... (Search for "image")
