Saving keystrokes or keeping it DRY. The choice of words make the
difference? =)
It's pretty obvious what will happen, no? Wherever we would earlier
default to DIVs ("the most generic tag") we will now default to "the
most generic tag allowed" (TRs and TDs in this case).
Without the plugin:
<table>
<div class='head'>
<div class='row1'>
</div>
</div>
<div class='body1'>
YO
</div>
<div class='body2'>
MOMMA
</div>
</table>
With the plugin:
<table>
<tr class='head'>
<td class='row1'></td>
</tr>
<tr class='body1'>
YO
</tr>
<tr class='body2'>
MOMMA
</tr>
</table>
One of them makes more sense than the other. =)
I'm still a bit confused on why we don't enforce guess syntax though.
I think that would make it backward compatible with existing
templates, or am I missing something?
