ndim: Maybe "spoon-feed the parser characters one at a time"? Anyway it does seem like an error in the spec - it's probably best to email the WHATWG list about it, so Hixie doesn't lose the feedback
00:03
<Hixie>
i probably meant "spoon-feed the input stream one string at a time"
00:03
<Hixie>
but yes, please send feedback
00:03
<Philip`>
Do you mean "one character"?
00:04
<Philip`>
because otherwise you don't know how long a string is
00:05
<Hixie>
the point is that document.write() can send input to the parser one string at a time
00:05
<Philip`>
Oh, right
00:05
<Hixie>
the phrasing might need work
00:05
<Philip`>
Maybe the original phrasing does actually make sense, then
00:06
<ndim>
It is confusing, to say the least.
00:06
Philip`
agrees
00:06
<Hixie>
yeah
00:06
<Hixie>
send mail and i'll fix it
00:06
<ndim>
ok

<jwalden>
Hixie: finally got around to the structure-data threads, nicely done on the solution, looks about as simple as possible but no simpler
00:53
<Hixie>
jwalden: yay
