Actually we need to modify the Declaration to read something like
SHORTTAG
STARTTAG
EMPTY NO
UNCLOSED NO
NETENABL NO
ENDTAG
EMPTY NO
UNCLOSED NO
ATTRIB
DEFAULT YES
OMITNAME YES
VALUE YES
Did I get that right? I'm less sure about the value for ATTRIB DEFAULT.
I don't know why they didn't do this before (backwards-compatability?).
Sometimes I feel like making my own "-//Russell O'Connor//DTD HTML
4.02//EN" or maybe "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.02//EN" since the W3C refuses to
register for it's own official W3C FPI prefix (heh heh). But they'd
probably sue me for copyright and trademark infringement. So much for
open standards.
(Why doesn't the W3C register its own FPI prefix?)
