Editorial: remove redundant decimal character reference start state#12707
Merged
Conversation
The numeric character reference state can dispatch on ASCII digits directly and reconsume in the decimal character reference state, so the separate start state was pure indirection. The removed state's generated ID is preserved on the ASCII digit case for existing anchors. Fixes #2733.

This is editorial with no change in behavior: the same
absence-of-digits-in-numeric-character-referenceparse error, flush, and reconsume-in-return-state all occur as before. The removed state's generated ID is preserved on the ASCII digit case so existing anchors keep working.Fixes #2733.
