This is clearly an example of how existing browsers are non-conformant, and simply making it conformant just blesses browsers in the future to continue violating specs safe in the knowledge that the spec will get changed to suit them, rather than the reverse. Exactly what's happened with CSS, do we really want to do it with HTML too? Cheers, Jim.
