The word "Generally" occurs three times in the definitions within that section. In other words, what you're saying is usually true, but not strictly true. (Consider examples such as INS/DEL and NOSCRIPT.) I suppose part of the reason I objected to using the HTML spec as a definition is really not that what you said is strictly wrong, but rather than the HTML spec is so inaccurate and unmaintained that it's silly to use it as a reference for anything. -David -- L.
