Cc: www-talk@nxoc01.cern.ch We should insist that anything shipped on the net and described as conforming HTML is normalized a la DTD. That doesn't stop parsers being tolerant of unnormalized stuff. These keyboarding aids are just a poor man's HTML editor. Others will use editor macros etc. SGML is not going to survive by pretending to be a keyborad entry format. (They also look horrible to me but then so do a number of aspects of SGML... ) Tim
