http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/text-level-semantics.html#the-a-element there is writed about that a element can consist only phrasing content, but here http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/a.html#a writed that a can consist flow content too
Hi Oleg, where does it say that "a element can consist only phrasing content" the spec says: http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/text-level-semantics.html#the-a-element "content model: Transparent, but there must be no interactive content descendant." definition of transparent: "Some elements are described as transparent; they have "transparent" in the description of their content model. The content model of a transparent element is derived from the content model of its parent element: the elements required in the part of the content model that is "transparent" are the same elements as required in the part of the content model of the parent of the transparent element in which the transparent element finds itself." http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/dom.html#transparent
HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: fixed, this seems to be correct in the latest drafts If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
