Re: HTML 4.0/SGML, (#PCDATA)* problem in TEXTAREA

For a to spec parser however the unknown tags require some sort of 
content model, otherwise parsing can't actually continue.  Or should 
we generally put a special rule in the SGML parser that scans for 
CLOSE-TAGS outside of their normal context?

I'm just afraid to make these changes since I don't want to 
inadvertently break the SGML parsing.
