Platform/HTML5 parser tasks: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:40, 22 June 2010

This page outlines what needs to be done to ship a release with the HTML5 parser enabled by default.

Fix "[HTML5]" bugs marked P2. (hsivonen)
- 552938 Implement the SVG load event in text/html
  - Need to fix random orange.
- Bugs waiting on Hixie or W3C WGs
  - 569528 <h5> inside <button> inside <p> implicitly closes the <p>
Reviews on patches
- 563526 Early U+0000 eats frameset (Can't configure D-Link DSL-G604T ADSL router) (sicking)
- 568470 A page with a sleep() in the script generating it shows no data until after the sleep ends (bnewman)
- 560256 Old document gets blown away when dynamically added script does document.write. (sicking)
- 570898 Isindex prompt initialized too early (sicking)
- 571389 <basefont> breaks out of <head> (sicking)
- 570309 -- > closing comments breaks CNN Money (sicking)
- 557197  in element content expands to CR and shows up as a non-collapsing space in layout (bzbarsky)
Security review.
- Talked to dveditz about how to do the security review for the HTML5 parser, and it's not clear what the best format for the review would be. But we did decide that it's not something we need to do before turning the parser on by default, but we need to do it before we ship it. --jst
544994Create a "slow tp" test suite for exercising speculative parsing. (bnewman)
- What if this suite reveals something bad?

Suspended bugs that were previously P2
- 482917 Make HTML5 parsing not regress stream data availability to extensions
  - There's now a patch but no way to test it.
  - Suspended, because there are no known extensions that use the API in question and are compatible with Firefox 3.6.
  - Time estimate: Unknown. (Need to find an extension that actually uses this. The alternative is writing an extension just for testing.)
