I have a new assignment to develop authoring tools for HTML documents and have been studying the July 94 draft of the HTML 2.0 specification. This is an excellent draft overall but I do have a question about the term Prescriptive. I don't understand the use or meaning of the term Prescriptive, as in HTML.Prescriptive. What I mean is, I think I can follow how Prescriptive ON changes the tagging rules, but I don't understand the intent. Why is there a Prescriptive flag? How is it different from Proposed? If I have to author to just one specification (HTML 2.0 Level 2, let's say), how do I choose between Prescriptive ON or OFF? Sorry if this is supposed to be obvious. I've looked for explanations and haven't found them. Stan Newton Newton Computing Solutions
