I modified Earl Hood's dtd2html report generator and have placed,
on line, a description of 'strict' HTML 2, strict 3 as well as the Netscape 
DTD as inferred by Dan Connolly and Mark Gaither.  It is complementary
to Michael Hannah's work, but certainly not a nice one-document summary!
It is best for looking at allowed element nestings, or for allowed 
attribute values. If you find it useful (as I do) please let me 
know, and I will endeavour to keep it up-to-date -- I will rerun the
new HTML 2.0 dtd early in the new year (I still need to go xmas
shopping) The URL is:
