Re: crashes always: HTML 4.0 (more)

I actually think that it is very sensible at times 
to use A without any attribute.

One writes a stylesheet

a.toc {font-family: sans-serif}

but a title of a linked resource
is long, so one makes only a part of it an active link.
In this case I would even like to nest the Anchor's:

<A>This is a long title with only <A href="foo.html">three linked 
words</A></A>.

Since nesting is invalid I'll write:

<A>This is a long title with only</A> <A href="foo.html">three
linked words</A>
