Actually, if the initial spec had said "all HTML pages MUST be valid XML or the browser MUST give an error and make no attempt at rendering it" and this had been honoured by NCSA and Nutscrape, the web would be in a much better state. Of course, that's cloud cuckoo land. XML didn't exist, and Nutscrape would have "extended" the spec. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Geeks need vacations too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ Grub first, then ethics. - Bertolt Brecht
