While working with Amaya a bit and testing it against other web editing such as Adobe GoLive, I've noticed that it generates quite a bit of syntactic sugar, namely the </li> and </p> closing tags. Or is there some policy of using closing tags at w3c that I should know about? Since these are not actually *used* by web clients, and since keeping them correctly matched to their associated <li> and <p> tags is a practical nightmare if even one of those closing tags gets lost, and since for other web editing tools those show up as dangling tags, I'd like to suggest not using them at all in amaya. Deleting them universally from the source code seems to be a straightforward task: It's not clear to me if this would be a welcome change to Amaya behavior. I'd be happy to test it myself. But it's not clear to me how much of this generation of syntactic sugar is in Amaya, and how much is in the redland package and I should contact those authors and convince them to not use those closing tags. And if it's not a welcome change, I won't burn my cycles testing it. -- Nico Kadel-Garcia System and Networks Administrator Mitsubish Electric Research Lab <nkadel@merl.com>
