Ah.  Thanks for clearing that up.

I had been somewhat dismayed by the header comment which says:


|       HTML 3.2 aims to capture recommended practice as of early '96
                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^
|       and as such to be used as a replacement for HTML 2.0 (RFC 1866).

since the DTD does not in fact enforce most of the principles of
HTML "recommended practice" with which I am familiar.  Since
there are errors and inaccuracies in other comments I suppose
this one needn't be taken at face value either; if it's intended
to _document current practice_ instead that puts things in a
better perspective.


By the way, the formal part of the DTD has (at least) two bugs.
