I have just looked at the html 3.2 draft, and it is NOT a step forward from 3.0. There are netscapeisms in there, and this stinks. Apart from <center>, another example is the BGCOLOR attribute on <BODY>, another is the plethora of presentation forcing attributes to <TABLE>. Quite frankly this shows why standards cannot be left to commercial organisations. I, for one, will stick to html 3.0, for its greater functionality, particularly <math>, and to a certain extent style sheets, and I do hope that the developers of arena will not be forced down the same commercial road as whoever has issued the 3.2 document.
