PacePreserveForeignMarkup


Abstract

Clients that do not preserve foreign markup when editing entries may cause data loss.

Scenario:

At the very least, the spec should indicate that clients SHOULD preserve unknown foreign markup when editing.

(I'm confident that the specific wording can be improved)
