This fragment doesn't work for me, presumably because whatwg/html#11980 isn't merged yet.

Correct. Oh I didn't set this to draft because of that despite saying I would in the original comment. Apologies!

That's odd. I can't seem to convert this to draft. Clicking the "Convert to draft" link opens the dialog but then clicking the button does nothing! Can you click that @caugner ?
