I think that generating elements would increase the complexity of the HTML parsing algorithm in a way that would likely be disliked by implementers (the initial feedback I have received on the idea has certainly been negative). If there is implementer support for that it's certainly something we can do, though (it won't be pretty to look at, mind you :). -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
