The average document at mozilla.org looks like this (wrapper omitted):
<center>
<h1>The Title of the Page</h1></center>
<table border="1" width="70%">
<tr>
<td>
<p><b>This is not for Netscape...</b>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<font size="4"><b>Level 2 heading</b></font>
<blockquote>
<p>Paragraph blah blah<br>
<br>
Another paragraph
</blockquote>
<font size="4"><b>Another level 2 heading</b></font>
<blockquote>
<p>Paragraph blah blah<br>
<br>
Another paragraph
<p><b>Level 3 heading</b><br>
Paragraph
<ul>
<li>list item
<li>list item <tt>document.all</tt>
</ul>
</blockquote>
Not good...
All this is better expressed with standard HTML:
<h1>The Title of the Page</h1>
<p class="note">This is not for Netscape...</p>
<h2>Level 2 heading</h2>
<p>Paragraph blah blah</p>
<p>Another paragraph</p>
<h2>Another level 2 heading</h2>
<p>Paragraph blah blah</p>
<p>Another paragraph</p>
<h3>Level 3 heading</h3>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<ul>
<li>list item
<li>list item <code>document.all</code>
</ul>
I suggest we use this general mapping:
<blockquote> -> out
<center> -> out
<br><br> -> real HTML paragraphs
<font size="4"><b> -> <h2>
<b>...</b><br> -> <h3>...</h3>
<tt> -> <code> (if it is code)
The point is that HTML Strict is ideal for expressing content like the
texts on www.mozilla.org, but currently the content is just obfuscated
with <blockquote>, <font>, <center> and <b>.
