Is that > something required to render legacy content Yes. It's very common in legacy content to have spacer gifs in tables like so: <img src="spacer" width="5" height="300"> or whatever. A large fraction of the time, the src is 404 (and might have been 404 all along, in fact). This is very rare in standards-mode pages, which is why the "force replaced element if sized" behavior is limited to quirks mode. > The Quirks Mode document doesn't seem to have this. It probably should. ;) -Boris
