Practical interoperability on the web will be achieved when there are
standards (de jure or de facto) that describe correct
_interpretations_ and _semantics_ for a given document.  But any work
in this area---and the topic has been discussed to death---can be
applied to ``legacy'' HTML nearly as easily as to the shiny new
XML-based HTML DTDs.

Anybody who thinks that a new HTML DTD will fix anything has missed
the point.
