Re: Comments on HTMl 4 draft (9/Nov/1997)

Something else...

 <SCRIPT> is a special element yet <NOSCRIPT> is specifically a block 
element. Is this an oversight? It seems that one should be able to 
include non-script content in the same context as scripted content.

This is a problem, say if I would like to use

 <P>This text is generated
  <SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
    document.write("by a script")
 </SCRIPT>
 <NOSCRIPT>
  without any scripting
 </NOSCRIPT>
  blah blah blah...
  </P>

Using the current (7 Nov 97) DTD the NOSCRIPT start tag ends the 
paragraph, hence an extra end-paragraph tag which is an error for
validators.
