If the author selects a parse mode better-suited to HTML they will get a less-confusing error message. The SGML experts (Goldfarb in his book, and Clark in his software) recommend that validators offer such modes, and many validators - such as Page Valet, WDG Validator, and validator- lite implement them. > Few authors understand that e.g. > <a name="foo"/>/ > is perfectly valid HTML4. Huh? We all know that's perfectly valid (though of course it has to be closed). Only the closing of the _tag_ is at risk of confusing. -- Nick KewReceived on Monday, 2 August 2004 19:12:43 UTC
