The HTML 4.01 Specification conflicts with the DTD when stating which
elements may contain INS and DEL elements.  According to the HTML 4.01
DTD http://w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd, only the BODY element may
contain INS and DEL elements.  But according to section 9.4 "Marking
document changes: The INS and DEL elements"
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/text.html#h-9.4,
"They may contain one or more words within a paragraph", and gives the
example "<P> A Sheriff can employ <DEL>3</DEL><INS>5</INS> deputies.
</P>".
