In my previous message, I didn't say that it was the only way to write tags. Hmm not sure how to put it in simpler terms. It can be addressed here in this section http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/#conventions The syntax chosen in this document is a subset of all possible requirements of HTML 5. Some elements may have optional end tags. For the sake of clarity and teaching, we always closed elements with their end tag. The detailed requirements for each element is given in @@HTML 5 Specification@@ I think I understand what is your point. When I read the body element section, there is the green section, which IMHO, should not be in this document or at least not the first thing we see. At best I would put all the content model, tag things, etc. at the bottom of each section or in an appendix. http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/#sections -- Karl Dubost - W3C http://www.w3.org/QA/ Be Strict To Be Cool
