That people are writing bad HTML and producing ugly pages is not - in and of itself - a reason for adding new features to HTML. Better would be to figure out why, and arrange things so they can do that, but the rest of us can still get reasonable looking pages. > Ultimately, it is just a desire to improve the experience fo exploring > information on the Web. Personally, I think it's a desire to make HTML act more like '80s style DTP packages. That this removes 50% of the innovation in the web, and will result in an incredible number of really ugly pages doesn't seem to bother people. <mike
