Re: error code when insering a video using video tag

The most annoying thing with Amaya - and the the most important 
prevention against using it for HTML5 work — is that it deletes 
elements that it doesn’t know.

>>   line 26, char 0: Invalid or unsupported XHTML element <source>

>> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
>>       "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
>> 
>> Amaya does not return any error.
>> And Amaya modify the code, erasing the "layout" of the code (see bellow):

>> <video width=320 height=240 controls><source src=proj.mp4 type=video/mp4
>>   /><source src=proj.ogg type=video/ogg /><source src=proj.webm
