IOW, strictly >stream-of-consciousness composition, no such thing as sticking to a >plan, much less preparing the groundwork for a plan beforehand. I just want to be sure we're all clear... "Tagsoup" is pretty much defined as what a lot of us (at least me personally) went through when we first started playing around with HTML, just kind of playing "monkey see, monkey do" with our markup, right? It's like, "Oh, well, if putting this here does that in this web browser, then that must be how it works! Neat!" without knowing how it really works in the specs. Hehehe... I remember the days when I used to use <br> instead of <p> elements. :) Daniel
