yeah, I've been beat about the head for that one. I need to reread the

Exactly. But the W3C hasn't to date - that's why I broght it up.

No, it is an HTML issue too. Those tags are not legitimate for TD with
3.2 nor Cougar.

Not in anything official. The only thing it appeared in was the 3.0
proposal, which is dead. I do not consider anything that was only in
3.0 'in there'.
3.0 had some nice things, it also had stuff I think was stupid. I don't
consider 3.0 atall valid - and since neither does the W3C nor any major
browser maker, it doesn't make sense to.
