1. At some point ”yes but they try hard” is no substitute for doing the job properly.
2. Gecko doesn’t meet the criteria, they mark some conformance bugs as WONTFIX. Example link removed in an attempt to get this comment posted, so look up bug #94284.
]]>Implementing NET is probably a perfect example of why I don’t really mean what I said, at least not in isolation. Nobody needs it, they only want it to confuse, or to conform for conformance’s sake, even the HTML spec informatively says to never use it, while normatively implying that it should be supported, and supporting it requires a third code path for XHTML-as-HTML, a camel whose nose nobody wants in their tent. Implementing it would make us appear broken, would actually help no one while hurting many, and yet is required. I don’t have a good answer for that. Personally, I would have called bug 94284 Trivial/Future/P5 rather than WONTFIX, but maybe for things that you know will be ”always NET tomorrow, never NET today” it’s better to just admit that this particular bit of conformance is too expensive.
