Thats not completely true. The current CSS won't work very well unless
you support implied END-tags. For example the following:
	<P CLASS="A">Start of paragraph one.
	<P CLASS="B">Start of paragraph two.
You need to handle tag omission to figure out where paragraph one ends and
paragraph two starts.

I don't see why implemented $CANVAS as a special token is any easier than
special casing BODY. Note that you really shouldn't be special casing BODY,
but if handling OMITTAG is too difficult...
