Attributes are abstractions while start-tags are encoded strings of characters. It is the attribute specification list that is within the start-tag. > If a completely unambiguous phrasing is required, "within the body > start-tag" or "of the body element" are most advisible [...] The latter phrasing is advisable, but the phrasing preceding it is incorrect, as per the foregoing explanation. -- Etan Wexler.
