Probably to avoid the storm of protest that arose when <P> was changed from a separator into a container. <TR> will need to be a container someday -- posssibly to make HTML tables conform to the ICADD model, or to support robust linking, or because formatting attributes will be added at some point. It's best to fix it now, before there are any legacy documents out there that use it as a separator. Preferring containers to separators is a good design decision in general when introducing new elements. --Joe English jenglish@crl.com
