Calling all nerds.

Does anyone know why Firefox doesn't support the
disable-output-escaping="yes"
?

Is there something else I should be using to transform escaped HTML entities back?

@Edent Browsers kinda gave up on XML and co. long time ago.

@tennoseremel well, sort of. All three major engines happily render XML + XSLT. I was just wondering about the minor difference between them.

@Edent Yes. They simply didn't throw away what they had. I wouldn't expect them to improve anything, though. I seem to remember years ago there was also a Firefox bug that made scripts execute twice on such documents and nobody really cared about it. Might be still in there, haven't checked it since then.

Although, there's something to be said for researching a problem and discovering it was first raised TWENTY TWO years ago!

(Not saying the behaviour is wrong, BTW, just that it is a complex issue.)

Looks like it's not a bug, it's a feature. :blobwhat:
