Interesting. In terms of benefits, I see it on the other side. Regular syntax rules are usually easier to learn. If we do not mention the omit tags, people will be encouraged to close them always, it doesn't hurt interoperability. And the "übergeeks" can still do what they want by looking at the hardcore specification. I'm in favor of not promoting optional end tags, to just ask people to always close their elements. -- Karl Dubost - W3C http://www.w3.org/QA/ Be Strict To Be Cool
