# Boolean attributes
#
# Some attributes play the role of boolean variables (e.g., the

# start tag of an element implies that the value of the attribute is
# "true". Their absence implies a value of "false".

# Boolean attributes may legally take a single value: the name of
# the attribute itself (e.g., selected="selected").

A job inerview Abigail once had. I think it was on clpm she reported it,
but it may have been in private mail (I don't have my old message archives
handy to check). Having just been through a tete a tete with a clueless
HR-type myself, it stuck a chord. :-)

Editor's note: in the last update, we noted that Larry Wall would "vomment"
on existing RFCs. Some took that to be a cross between "vomit" and "comment."
We are unsure of whether it was a subconscious slip or a typographical error.
We are also unsure of whether or not to regret the error.
