No Dave, please do not such things. When it comes on cleaning presentational markup done by abuse of HTML-elements translating to CSS results in illogical markup. Some authors use BLOCKQUOTE or invalid lists to create margins. Did you think about replacing all BLOCKQUOTE-elements by <span style="margin-left:2em">? No! The job to bring back structural markup to the mess must be done by the author and he has to _understand_ what is the difference. Only possible use for "enhanced autocleaning": Maybe if you know about certain bugs in special word-processors or editors you may revert these. Greeting, Michi -- <http://nahrath.de/michael/>
