My apologies if you're being facetious or if <plaintext> is to be
re-introduced with a /working/ end tag. But, the plaintext tag, as
from html 1 is particularly unusable.
I was serious. If you want to display plain text in the browser
content area, it seems that prepending "<plaintext>" and sending it
as text/html is more likely not to invoke sniffing than sending it as
text/plain. This use case doesn't require an end tag.
