HTML 4 contains a generalized block element (<DIV>) and a generalised inline element (<SPAN>) but seems to lack a generalized empty element. This seems to me a serious deficiency which can only lead to more inline elements containing There are a number of inline elements that might better be empty. For example the name anchor is often kludged with as is done many, many times in the HTML draft itself. This should suggest that some elements ought to be empty (perhaps even the name anchor itself), but in any event that a generalized empty element could be a useful thing. -- Lars Eighner= http://www.io.com/%7Eeighner = http://www.crl.com/%7Eeighner = 12550 Vista View #302 (210)979-7124 eighner@crl.com eighner@io.com == San Antonio TX 78231 alt.books.lars-eighner "At better ISPs everywhere"= ===NEW!==Lizbeth's Home Page ==> http://www.crl.com/%7Eeighner/lizbeth.html=
