OMITTAG has been changed to YES for implicit </LI> etc. tags
SHORTTAG has been changed to YES to support
<DL COMPACT> and <IMG ALIGN=top>
as short forms for
<DL STYLE="COMPACT"> and <IMG ALIGN="top">
> Was this discussed much?
Not a whole lot.
But with SHORTTAG NO, you have to quote ALL attribute values.
<DL COMPACT> goes out the window. <IMG ISMAP> goes.
