For example: If I wrote a Web page about HTML that contains the sentence:
The <span class="element">P</span> element denotes a paragraph.
I would be most unhappy if the next release of MSIE turned it
into a hyperlink to "Potassium" in the Periodic Table because
some chemist wrote an RFC.
I made a completely unilateral and unauthorised addition in HTML Pro
of <element> and <attribute> so that I could more simply document some
SGML. These are not intended to be a part of a real HTML, just an
experiment. I'd rather use <var type=sgml.element> which seems to make
more sense, but until stylesheet support lets me make it fixed-width
typewriter, with "<" prepended and ">" appended, it'll have to wait.
