In HTML 3.2, it is " "body.content" along with %heading, %text, and %block. Since HTML 3.2 " allows P elements within ADDRESS, I think we could call it a block element. Yikes! I made this "discovery" when HTML 4.0 was in draft. Possibly an earlier draft had ADDRESS as inline? Thanks for setting it straight. I think the point I was making stands even without this bit of misinformation, though - or do you think otherwise? Could CSS, as recommended, really permit the extensive abstraction of HTML render tree from parse tree I asserted? I'm still a little insecure of this point, lacking a testbed to investigate.
