I realize you are posting questions to make a point to Hixie, but I'll respond to these anyway: A presentation by Daniel Glazman at XTech 2006 convinced me that empty structures should be valid. Letting them be valid makes it easier to develop editors that maintain validity at each editing operation and don't allow invalid intermediate states. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
