Definitely would be useful - anyone? I'm going to implement the <lang>
tag that is in there sometime soon, and a list would be most useful.

This is a one-way hashing algorithm. Will always be 32 base-64 encoded
chars long. ie:
MD5("foobar") = 3858f62230ac3c915f300c664312c63f
This is to make sure that the referenced document has not changed since

> l. Does nowrap in <p> effectively imply auto-<br>?
God I hope not. I read it to mean that <p nowrap> is basically a <pre>
segment not in a monospaced font.

Emacs-w3 implements it. SIZE="1,10" implies min=1, max=10. Personally,
I would like to see that broken out into <input type=range min=1 max=10>

What happened to the 'named' base tags from the HTML 3.0 spec that was
distributed at the IETF meetings in San Jose? I thought it was very
useful, and it was trivial to implement.
> x. Do we have real-life examples of META yet?
Other than netscape, no. Emacs-w3 stores them, but doesn't do anything
yet.
Good points all, peter, but couldn't you have thought of one more to get
all the way through the alphabet? :)
