@ Hmmm... on the other hand, I'd like for the 2.0 DTD to represent

@ So I'm changing my vote: leave it out. And leave out STRIKE, and
@ whatever else is not consistently supported.

I'm voting for this as well.

(I'm going to assume that this principle also holds for <isindex
action="URL">, which I've seen work with XMosaic and not with the
other Mosaics.  (i.e.  I'm scratching my next letter...)

This shows up mainly in things derived from WWWWais. 
(http://www.eit.com/software/wwwwais/wwwwais.html).)

Does anyone have an opinion on the diff for
http://www.hal.com/~connolly/html-spec/Highlighting.html?
I was going to give underline a caveat that it wasn't supported
by all browsers and it therefore isn't in the DTD and using
it is deprecated.  Are there objections to this?  Should 
I just leave it out completely?

I'll do <STRIKE> in my diff as well, since Dan's holding me
to it and all. :-)
