Thread: Include-Pattern Infinite Loop Open Issue




Include-Pattern Infinite Loop Open Issue

I'd like to address Toby Inkster's current Open Issue.
[h
ttp://microformats.org/wiki/include-pattern-issues]
"It's very easy for inclusions to end up as an infinite
loop. For example:..."

This issue is addressed by simply ignoring any includes that
reference
an ancestor of the current node.
[http://microformats.org/wiki/include-pattern#in_general]
"To prevent infinite loops, if a
class="include" refers to itself or
to an ancestor in the parse tree, then it is ignored and has
no effect
on the parser. "

Can this issue now be closed citing the page above?  If
different
parsers simply stopped following includes at an arbitrary
number of
levels, then various different outputs could result from the
same
data.
