If they > are not part of the HTML 4 language, then they should be. FRAMEBORDER is an acceptable attribute for <FRAME>, but not <FRAMESET>, says the W3C HTML 4 specs. The missing FRAMSESPACING from the specs disturbed me at first, so I contacted the HTML Editor about it. He gave me a prompt reply (only a few weeks) and told me that the FRAMEBORDER attribute is for that purpose. But you and I know they're for different purposes , right? > A TYPE attribute for SCRIPT? Since when. See http://www.htmlcompendium.org/CCHART/SCTYP.HTM for a compatability chart. > At this point in time, I have no idea how to make <BODY> compliant. Conclusion. Don't trust weblint- it doesn't even count <OBJECT> as acceptable HTML. Use the HTML standards whenever possible and proprietary extensions as a last resort. And last, but not least, demand browser vendors support standards in their next version. See http://www.webstandards.org/
