Subject: Editorial comments on HTML 2.0 spec
X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas
X-Comment: HTML Working Group (Private)
These comments are based on the July 1994 postscript version
of the spec:
--------
Page 2-6, Section -- Working With Structured Text: Comments
After the comment delimiter, all text up to the next
occurrence of -- is ignored.
------------------^^
I believe this should be "-->".
--------
Page 3-3, Section -- Meta: Examples
If the document contains:
<expires http-equiv="Expires">...</expires>
--------^^^^^^^
I never saw an EXPIRE element in the DTD. Shouldn't it be
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="...">
--------
Page 4-1, Section -- Obsolete HTML Features: comment
A comment element used for bracketing off unneeded text and
comments has been introduced in some browsers but will be
replaced by the SGML command feature
-------------------------^^^^^^^
Should be "comment".
