Why then (as Russell O'Connor has pointed out also) does this new specification includes the onclick, etc. attributes? The implications of this are, in my opinion, somewhat more dubious. Here we are getting into the question of function and behavior, which I think is (to a certain extent) wrong. We have simultaneously a documentation which warns against using style sheets to force paragraphs to render without whitespace in-between (in order not to confuse users), but allows the use of scripting, which can completely change the way that a browser works (clicking on a link might open a new window, or turn the page black). >"I don't envy you the headache you'll have in the morning.
