[UA-discuss] Request for review: Report on Evaluation of Websites for Acceptance of E-mail Addresses, 2019

Hi Chaals.
It is not necessarily related to UA, but what you wrote makes me even more suspicious about DNS over HTTP.
Cheers,
Roberto

Relations between some parts of "the 4" browsers, and W3C's HTML spec reached a nadir at the point where browser engineers deliberately re-engineered code to break compatibility. I would be unsurprised if Firefox' implementation (such as it was) was changed in this way.

The implementation document was only ever work in progress, the specification was a Working Draft and specifically never reached the point where we did the careful checking to decide what was in the Recommendation and what to defer until a later version.
