Assuming each release of the browser you uses breaks your content, which they go to great lengths to avoid doing. I certainly did write HTML like this several years ago. Standards, quite frankly, are too hard to read for the general web author (and HTML 5 is no different from HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 in this respect: if anything XHTML 1.0 is the worst because it's very unclear where any element's semantics is actually defined). Books cost money, and I didn't have that. So, hey, I'll just copy code from others and see it works in my browser. -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/>
