Since the code is already written and usable as a pseudo-schema in the generic UI, I could continue offering it for those who really want it and know how to customize things from the generic UI. However, I think leaving significant inline checking on even as merely warnings might lead to a pointless arms race with editors doing silly stuff to silence warnings. > - A table within a table cell (Has this ever been used for anything > but layout?) Many sites want to use a main layout table and then proper tables in the page content inside the layout table. Encouraging them to use positioning or misuse float would only make things worse. You do get a warning (or in some cases error) if a table has unoccupied slots, because that's likely something that the author did not intend. However, nested tables are usually intentional. > - Iframes So many sites use iframes for ads that emitting a warning would probably only cause an inflation of the value of warnings. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
