>Another point is, that HTML comes from SGML, and some SGML-rules were broken. One SGML-rule is, that tags must not be longer than 8 letters (broken by <BLOCKQUOTE>). Perhaps you can propose a tag, which does not exceed 8 letters. Nope. SGML's Reference Concrete Syntax is limited to 8 characters, but the SGML declaration supplied with the HTML 2.0 DTD in the HTML 2.0 spec extends NAMELEN to 44. No SGML rules are broken.
