- Thanks Dan for this revised HTML DTD. Some comments after a quick
- glance (please bear with me as I'm no SGML expert...) :
-
- > <!-- Tags.html says "This tag is for address information, signatures,
- > etc, normally at the top or bottom of a document." Here, it is only
- > allowed at the end of a document. -->
-
- We wanted addresses to be lawful both at the top or at the bottom of
- a document because of the traditions of some information sources that
- we can access, e.g. for Internet news, the address part is extracted
- from various headers and displayed first. This makes sense in those
- systems where the author name changes often from a document to the
- next (in the order you read them). On the contrary, in technical
- documentation like the WWW tree, it would be obnoxious to repeat the
- author's name at the top of every page. There are even cases where
- people cite several people at different points in the same document
- within <Address> tags. So my opinion is that we should leave this tag
- legal anywhere, or at least at both top and bottom.

- This will be easy to fix in the next release of the browsers.

- The NeXT editor doesn't quote them: bad behaviour to be fixed. Also
- fix every server generating anchors on the fly...
-
- I've put the DTD and the legalizer in the web: just follow HTML.
