Hi,
If it is desireable that conforming HTML5 documents that use a common subset
of HTML4 and HTML5 would be valid HTML4 if the doctype was switched, then
slashes in unquoted attribute values should cause a parse error.
E.g., the snippet:
<p title=foo//>test</p>
...is equivalent to:
<p title="foo//">test</p>
...according to the HTML5 parsing algorithm (and goes without parse errors).
But according to SGML (assuming the HTML4 doctype and the SGML declaration
for HTML4) it's equivalent to:
<p title="foo"></p>>test</p>
Regards,
Simon Pieters
