Yes, this would be a nice thing to see.  But it will be a very
significant departure from a lot of current implementations.

As an aside: I recently edited a hand-crafted HTML document in
Navigator Gold.  Before, its head looked like this:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN//">
    <!-- $Id: index.html,v 1.9 1996/05/30 11:59:23 taube Exp $ -->
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>

    <TITLE>My Title</TITLE>
    <BASE HREF="http://somesite.de/index.html">
    <LINK REV="made" HREF="mailto:somebody@somesite.de">
    
    </HEAD>

After, it looked like this:

    <html>
    <head>
       <title>My Title</title>
    </head>
    <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#E6E8FA" link="#0000EE" vlink="#551A8B" alink="#FF0000">
       <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/2.01Gold (Win32)">
        <center><p><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN//"><!-- $Id: index.html,v 1.9 1996/05/30 11:59:23 taube Exp $ --><BASE HREF="http://somesite.de/index.html"><LINK REV="made" HREF="mailto:somebody@somesite.de"></p></center>

Hmmm, yummy.  Standards can be so very nice to ya, Wilber ... :-)

In the meantime, use SoftQuad's Panorama for SGML via the Web.  There
are some very nice SGML resources at

    http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/WebSGML.html

Panorama's free edition should live somewhere in

    http://www.sq.com

Disclaimer: I have no stake at all in SoftQuad, or any other
relation to them, other than that I like Panorama :-).
