Is there some reason for this? (I guess I'm not asking >if there's some reason it's like this in HTML 2.0, but rather is there >some reason it "should" be this way in HTML?) No -- no good reason, anyway. I think this was on the "to-do" list during the HTML 2.0 review, and I just forgot to do it. I was surprised myself when I went back and realized this change never got made. >Would it be possible to get this changed for the next version of HTML Yes. In fact, if anybody feels like cooking up DTDs as candidates for new versions of HTML, please put them on the web and send a note including the address to this list.
