Within the last release, a pull request was merged to BCD that replaces links to
drafts.csswg.org
withw3c.github.io/csswg-drafts
. This was done becausedrafts.csswg.org
is almost always unavailable, leaving MDN readers (including and especially contributors) with no spec to refer to. The downtime issues have persisted for over a year, with no end in sight. Because of this, various developers have created their own mirrors with reliable build engines, including https://andreubotella.com/csswg-auto-build/, whose code was then used to create a new official mirror.However, due to internal conflict with CSSWG members, the official mirror has not been added to browser-specs (w3c/browser-specs#704). As a result, any spec URLs using the new mirror will show "Unknown specification". This PR adds a fix for this by mapping the URLs back to the broken
drafts.csswg.org
URLs during the search through browser-specs.This fixes #7173 and fixes mdn/content#20772.
