HTML defines href or source as CDATA, which means just about 'anything goes'. And as I have said in another mail, I don't think that HTML editors do a lot of checks. Checks may occur as part of link checking, but that's not on the syntax level, where http://www.xyz.no-such-tld would be allowed. Regards, Martin. #-#-# Martin J.
