sideshowbarker: oh no. https://www.w3.org/html/wg/spec/ exists and people link to it on twitter
thanks for heads-up — I’ll redirect that

That sounds pretty encouraging. I haven’t actually looked at that code in more than a year. And every time I went in to touch it before, my approach was pretty heavily just a lot of trial-and-error bashing. One fundamental thing I’ve always found disorienting in there is the fact that some of the logic in the state transitions is different than the pseudo-code in the spec — though the logic achieves the same end result as the spec pseudo-code logic.

I’ll take a look this weekend or early next week. But I’m pretty thrilled it turned out to be possible to reduce it to what you describe. The way I had it written was opaque even to me — so it also would’ve been problematic to maintain.
