Many people on this list have suggested that authors either use authoring tools that produce valid HTML or else validate their pages. Humans are normally error prone and "improving" the DTD in this respect will not make appreciable progress towards making people write what they had intended. Anyhow, I don't see why we should waste our time on people who insist on hand coding HTML but are reluctant to learn the rules and when they get it wrong want to cahnge the rules. After all, suitable tools are available. Jonathan
