Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

I am splitting this off of bug 40639, which was reopened with a problem
different from the original one described in that bug.  The description of the
problem was the following:

No longer crashing on Mac & Linux, but not reading the file either.  I get the
download dialog box for an unknown file type.  Shouldn't all three platforms
recognize and display rtf files as text?

Reopening for Mac & Linux, fixed on Windows
removing crash keyword

Will look into it

Since, it's not a crasher and the use of RTF DTD is remote ( AFAIK ) I'm marking 
this bug FUTURE.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration -----
