Hi,
Hi, the first additional restriction listed for the content model of
the noscript element is confusing.
| When used in HTML documents, the allowed content model depends on
| whether scripting is enabled or not. If scripting is disabled, then
| the content model of a noscript element is the same as that of its
| parent element, with the following additional restrictions:
|
| * Moving all the children of all the noscript elements in the
| document so that they replaced their noscript element parents,
| must not cause the document to become non-conforming.
|
| * A noscript element must not have a noscript element as an
| ancestor (that is, noscript can't be nested).
As explained on IRC, it's supposed to mean:
<Hixie> i meant that if you have a DOM like p -> noscript -> div
<Hixie> then it would be conforming if and only if the following was
conforming too: p -> div
<Hixie> i.e. taking the children of the noscript
<Hixie> and replacing the noscript with them
<Hixie> and checking to see if it still conforms
So, given that it already states the conforming content model is the
same as that of its parent element, I don't see how that is an
additional restriction at all.
I suggest that whole section be reworded like this:
When used in HTML documents, the allowed content model depends on
whether scripting is enabled or not. If scripting is disabled, then
the content model of a noscript element is the same as that of its
parent element, with the additional restriction that it cannot contain
any descendant noscript elements.
