But still..., many sites don't do it! (I also had the same problem with a site using empty <meta> tags. You don't need to convince me that that's syntactically wrong, it probably is. On the other hand: it displayed in my browser and I, as a user, was happy). Maybe it is more user-friendly to allow these things and have plucker ignore them. Actually, normally, HTML defines that if it doesn't understand something it should leave it alone: unknown tags are removed and ignored, unknown entities (of which this one) should be ignored, unknown attributes should be removed and ignored, etc. Well, it's just a thought and I don't know how much work this is in plucker :-) agb _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
