Expected results: The article's text should have showed up in reader mode.
The above article should not be detected by reader-view. The article is not reader-capable in Safari. I have no idea who is working on readability detection.

Stefan, is iOS still running the readability parse method to determine whether or not to show the button? In general, the readability github repo is the best place to report reader view issues, although I don't think working on that is high on anyone's priority list: https://github.com/mozilla/readability

Yeah it is. Is there a better way now? Lets move this to https://github.com/mozilla/readability

There is also a isProbablyReaderable method which performs some estimations as to whether or not calling parse will succeed.
