It's been noted for nearly 3 years, see:

  http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html4-updates/errata#entry-12

It's one of the most frequently reported HTML4 "errors" (not really
an error, though).

If you think there's an error in the spec, please report it to
www-html-editor@w3.org so that editors can be aware of that.

Thanks,
