HTML 5 defines a kaboodle of new elements and attributes, as well as
|
|
some well-defined, "quirks mode" HTML parsing. Although WHATWG professes
|
|
to be targeted towards web applications, many of their semantic additions
|
|
would be quite useful in regular documents. Eventually, HTML
|
|
Purifier will need to audit their lists and figure out what changes need
|
|
to be made. This process is complicated by the fact that the WHATWG
|
|
doesn't buy into W3C's modularization of XHTML 1.1: we may need
|
|
to remodularize HTML 5 (probably done by section name). No sense in
|
|
committing ourselves till the spec stabilizes, though.
|
|
|
|
More immediately speaking though, however, is the well-defined parsing
|
|
behavior that HTML 5 adds. While I have little interest in writing
|
|
another DirectLex parser, other parsers like ph5p
|
|
<http://jero.net/lab/ph5p/> can be adapted to DOMLex to support much more
|
|
flexible HTML parsing (a cool feature I've seen is how they resolve
|
|
<b>bold<i>both</b>italic</i>).
