aye, there's the rub

Can anyone say that they expect the majority of users - who can't get HTML
write half of the time - to get a DTD right?

And keep a straight face?

I'm no stranger to computing nor HTML.  I've only skirted the fringes of
SGML however.

I don't think *I* can write a DTD accurately without a lot of references.
(Not that I've tried, but in reading them they aren't exactly simple.)

If you could create one with plug in modules (a module for each tag I guess)
then I can see it, give it a nice GUI front end...
