Re: title

I guess the problem with this is I have seen way too many people use
STYLE and SCRIPT in the BODY...  do you then ignore them (sence you
probably have no use for them anyway yet>)

What doi you do if you encounter stray text in the head?

<HEAD>
	Does this screw anything up?
</HEAD>

I know MSIE and NETSCAPE both will display the text as part of a
paragraph... annoying sometimes specially before MSIE supported SCRIPT
and STYLE...

No, its paying attention... but checks for errors in mime
configuration, since TEXT/PLAIN is generic type used by servers when
they have to guess... MSIE trys then to guess by extension of the file
and then content...  this was done to cure the rash of server admins
who refuse to add types for MIDI and newer graphical formats...  I
think they may have gone overboard with the TXT file example, and I
have yet more testing to do...
