Remembering that I asked for a DTD for MSIE 3.0 (and latest Netscape)...

From the list of tags the MSIE 3.0 supports
     (http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/author/newhtml/htmlr017.htm),
the following tags/tag-attribs are supported by MSIE3.0 but are not
in HTML3.2 DTD Draft: Tuesday 13-Aug-96:

Tag		Attribute	(my comments)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A		TARGET
AREA		TARGET
BASE		TARGET
BASEFONT
BGSOUND
BODY		BGPROPERTIES
BODY		LEFTMARGIN
BODY		TOPMARGIN
COL				MS claims this is from HTML 3.2
COLGROUP			MS claims this is from HTML 3.2
COMMENT				(Maybe they mean <!-- ... --> ??)
EMBED				MS claims this is from HTML 2.0!
FONT		FACE
FORM		TARGET
FRAME
FRAMESET

 e.g. MARQUEE (yech!))
