True, and it's worth noting that since WHATWG HTML 5 has usurped HTML and taken it ad absurdum, WHATWG's parsing spec isn't actually useful nor representative at all of what people usually think HTML is. Nor do people have to follow WHATWG's (= bunch of Chrome developers) idea of HTML anymore than WHATWG did follow other's.
- detaro 6y agoWHATWG is not a "bunch of Chrome developers", and if you want to understand what a browser does with HTML, it's the place to look. "HTML, but not the HTML web browsers mean" is a fairly niche concern.
- chrismorgan 6y agoWHATWG’s HTML spec is the only thing that matters when considering what HTML is, because it’s what every browser uses, which is the primary target of HTML.
