The current HTML 5 allows tag omission only in cases where HTML 4.01 allowed omission as well. Omitting tags in the way permitted by HTML 4.01 and the current HTML 5 draft is harmless in IE. If an author doesn't want to remember which tags are permissible and safe to omit, it is perfectly OK not to omit any. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
