286381 - parse |<style>foo{bar:baz}</style| as CSS, not as content

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Anne (:annevk)]

If we do this we would emulate IEs behavior and we would probably be more
compliant with the SGML specification.

Note that IE's behavior is a bit more complex. IE will only execute <script> if
there is a closing </script> (with optional whitespace before the >). If it
finds |</script|, then it will consume up to the </script, but it won't execute
it. Since we can't follow this behavior exactly, I just refuse to recognize the
</script.

Oops, hit submit too soon. I forgot to mention that IE does not require the
closing > for <style>.
