"The notion that 3986 had to be replaced is nothing more than ignorance combined with the arrogant way that HTML5 has been allowed to piss all over the rest of Web standards."

So if I were to implement charset detection, I notice I don't have to inspect more than the first 1024 bytes. But, is there any guide on how to do the detection without doing a full parse?
07:49
<Domenic>
It seems like browsers clearly cheat, which is why <meta charset> was able to be created in place of <meta http-equiv=... content=...>
07:49
<Domenic>
but the spec doesn't seem to give any guidance on how browsers should cheat

Hixie nevermind, was looking in wrong section of the parser

<Domenic>
or rather, was looking at the wrong section of the spec; the parser is the right section

Hi there, currently whenever I go to developers.whatwg.org I get the error message in Firefox that the browser is in offline mode and that it cannot show the page. However I'm online and IE shows it correctly. I know in the past I have used this page in offline mode though [15:23] <ricky_ds> How can I make firefox forget about my past (:grin:) and load the page fresh again?

<ricky_ds>
all other parts of whatwg.org work correctly otherwise.
