Perhaps we should have all three.

<FIXED>		newlines not significant 	anchors		PCDATA

<PRE>		newlines significant		no anchors	RCDATA

<XMP>		newlines significant		no anchors	CDATA

I understand that these are the only SGML-conformant combinations.  Is this too  
much of a mess?

Tony, can you make a similar patch for <fixed> as above for Midas?

I have put Dan's new spec (which contains <typewriter> -- what's going on,  
Dan?!) in the web at  
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/Connolly/MarkUp.html with a link from  
the current spec.  The DTD was not in the tar file, so Dan's previous one is  
linked in. This includes all Dan's test HTML.

I would like to include <HEADER> and <BODY> tags too.
