I'm interested. Do you have a specific case where that happened? Normally, there shouldn't be ambiguities of _rendering_ in (X)HTML, given it is just a language to represent structured data. Thus, rendering issues are either originating from bad browser-defaults or faulty CSS. If you refer to this, I totally agree: When you start styling a HTML-document, you usually can't write the CSS down and then be done, but often have to check the page by reloading. As we're discussing XML- and SGML-parsers here, this is another issue. > This alone is sufficient for me to be all for simplistic strict parser > with zero fault tollerance.
