If the error handling rules are not in the spec, then the UA with most market share will be the one that controls what the error handling has to be, because other user agents will have to emulate it in order to render Web pages the same. This is why we now have Tag Soup. I'd rather have the error handling rules be de jure and carefully thought out than de facto and based on a quickly hacked together piece of code. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
