>INS and DEL are used to markup sections of the document
>that have been inserted or deleted since a
>previous version of a document (e.g., in draft
>legislation where law makers need to view the changes).
>
>These two elements are unsual for HTML in that they are
>neither block-level nor inline elements. THEY MAY
>CONTAIN ONE OR MORE WORDS WITHIN A PARAGRAPH OR ENGLOBE
>ONE OR MORE BLOCK-LEVEL ELEMENTS SUCH AS PARAGRAPHS,
>LISTS AND TABLES.
(my emphasis)
Give that INS & DEL can contain paragraphs, shouldn't the element
definition be:
<!ELEMENT (INS|DEL) - - %block -- inserted/deleted text -->
?
