I think it is more than a 'preference' based on the rapidity with which INVALID or WONTFIX is stamped on tag suggestions and patches.
Perhaps it would be best if the tags were cut loose from struts and a different group of committers were responsible for them. I wouldn't, nor would I expect anyone else interested in the tags to make any time commitment with the current 'RULES' placed on the tags, i.e. ONLY emit HTML 4.01 or XHMTL 1.0, only a 'thin' layer over standard html tags, etc. Edgar > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig R.
