I also recently learned about &NegativeMediumSpace;, &NegativeThickSpace;, &NegativeThinSpace; and &NegativeVeryThinSpace;. (These all map to U+0200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE.)

why did the html5 era bring additional named entities in the first place? does anyone know?

<Domenic>
Were they additional? I assumed it just included the union of all existing browsers.

Dominic Farolino: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-trees says "A content attribute is said to change value only if its new value is different than its previous value; setting an attribute to a value it already has does not change it."

jmdyck: yep, Domenic recalled this in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11400#issuecomment-3006843232. I vaguely remembered that HTML and DOM diverged here, but couldn't remember the details

I think we should strike HTML's definition in favor of early returns here and there. It's definitely not something that can be applied generally.
