Description
I'm trying to test that an HTML parser produces the correct errors but some of the tests list #errors and #new-errors where the new errors seem to be the new standard names for old errors. For example,
#data
<?COM--MENT?>
#errors
(1,1): expected-tag-name-but-got-question-mark
(1,13): expected-doctype-but-got-eof
#new-errors
(1:2) unexpected-question-mark-instead-of-tag-name
#document
| <!-- ?COM--MENT? -->
| <html>
| <head>
| <body>
I'm not sure why the first error is there, but I assume an older version of the standard had something like a look ahead on the <. As I read the standard, there should be an unexpected-question-mark-instead-of-tag-name and a (currently unnamed in the standard) parse error for the missing DOCTYPE.
Is it always the case that if there's a new error that it replaces exactly one of the old errors? If not, how should these be handled?
