That's not the question. The question is what a standard is supposed
to say about constructions that are not legal under that standard.
Does the ANSI C standard specify what a C compiler is supposed to do
with Fortran? Does the PostScript specification describe the behavior
of PostScript interpreters when they're fed PCL code?
Having said that, however, I think that Roy's point about what kind of
standard this is may have some merit. My comments were made in the
context of HTML 2.0 as a language standard, not as a user agent
standard. I stand by my earlier opinion, but it's possible that it's
just not relevant in this context.
