Perhaps.  What I find far more worrying (distressing ?)
is that HTML 5 will sanction that "wrongness", will
virtually give it a papal blessing.  I do wonder why
so many of us have wasted the last decade or more teaching
our students how to write HTML that is /not/ wrong,
and explaining to them why correctness is important.

But then I also care about proper grammar, punctuation,
spelling and so on, so I may as well just accept that
I am a dinosaur and wait to become extinct.
