It is not an example of sloppy HTML. Sloppy HTML would be: <b><p>Heading</p></b> (same as XHTML: content model violation, and use of wrong markup for semantics); <b><i>bold-italic</b></i> (tag soup - not properly nested); or <html><body>, as seen in much HTML email (content model violation - missing mandatory element; the missing element is <title>; the head element is present but the tags have been omitted, as can be the <html> and </html> tags). (All my sloppy examples are commonly found in the wild.) > > <select name="color"> > <option>blue</option> > <option>red</option> > </select>
