| ++ <H1> Hi! | ++ | ++ <P> This isn't a headin! | ++ | ++ <H6> End of document! | ++ | ++ </HTML> | | Because it doesn't know where to end the <H?>. Remember that %text | may appear in the document. For instance, the browser cannot detect | whether you meant: | | <H6> End</H6>of document | <H6> End of</H6>document | <H6> End of document</H6> Damn do I have to argue? Clearly, when the browser gets to <P>, the <H1> must be closed... its a requirement of proper content... an H1 can not hold a P, to open the P, the H1 must be closed, if the H1 is not to be closed, the P can not be allowed to be opened... As I write a parser I take it to be that the <P> should open, its more likely that the author wanted to start a new block there... and if he didn't, he can just remove the <P>... simple... | Don't confuse things that are "obvious" for the human eye with | unambigious parsable. I think this is all really simple for computers ... and for the human eyes that program the stupid computers... without our brains computers would be nothing...
