What task is the end of "Navigating to a fragment" talking about?

[bzbarsky]

The last sentence of the section that starts at https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsing-the-web.html#scroll-to-fragid is:

The task source for the task mentioned in this section must be the DOM manipulation task source.

But the only mention of the word "task" in that whole section is:

Remove any tasks queued by the history traversal task source that are associated with any Document objects in the top-level browsing context's document family.

which is not even queuing a task. So what is that last sentence talking about?

The task source was defined in 1465cd9 because at the time navigating to a fragment identifier would queue a task. Then d0d9b65 removed the task to align with reality, but forgot about this sentence. I'll post a PR.

Actually, let's make this a good first issue. The objective is to remove

The task source for the task mentioned in this section must be the DOM manipulation task source.

from the source resource as it's no longer accurate. Bonus points if the commit message body captures the history from my comment above.

Yikes. Filed #3497 on this bit. :(

So particularly only have to remove the text above and commit message with the history in the comment.

@rahulpurohit29 yes, ideally the commit message explains why that sentence was there and why it's no longer relevant now.

This has been fixed.
