<h1>Public Text of the HTML 2.0 Specification</h1>

<p> The HTML 2.0 specification includes both machine-readable public
text -- SGML "code" if you will -- and human-readable text.
The public text includes the DTD, an SGML declaration, and a version
of the ISO Added Latin 1 entity set.
<h2> Changes in this Revision </h2>
<ul>
<li> The DTD is no longer spread across three files. The Level 0 and Level 1
files contain just feature test entities now. The <tt>html.dtd</tt>
contains all the elements.
<li> The META tag was promoted from Proposed to standard. The Proposed
feature test entity has been eliminated. (The nbsp and shy entities
went away with it: they should come back in 2.1)
<li> The HTML.Prescriptive feature test entity is now called HTML.Recommended.
It switches the content of BODY and A between the "free form" style
generally found on the net and the more structured, recommended form.
<li> The HTML.Obsolete feature test entity is now called HTML.Deprecated.
It switches <tt>XMP</tt>, <tt>LISTING</tt>, and <tt>PLAINTEXT</tt>.
<li> The standard A content model now includes <tt>H1</tt>-<tt>H6</tt>
and <tt>%text</tt> only -- <tt>%block</tt> has been removed.
<li> The public text owner is now <tt>-//IETF//</tt>. If and when the
IETF becomes a registerd ISO public text owner, the <tt>-//</tt>
should be changed to <tt>+//</tt>.
<li> The reference to the ISO latin 1 entity set now references the
HTML version of this entity set, and not the public version
from the SGML standard.
</ul>
