Dan,


[I will limit the lines to 72 instead of 80, -- sorry!]

I have changed the links which I could find to point to the new DTD  
and the new spec.  There is a soft link "Current" so that one can  
link to the latest version but still allow reference and access to  
previous dated versions. See  
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/Connolly/History.html

I have also edited the general description of HTML to bring it  
further into line with the DTD, I hope.  I have reorganised it so  
that there is more scope for adding detailed guidance and more  
examples.

I have put in a WIDTH attribute on PRE.  I have put in LINK.
Could we have both in the DTD next time?

I could do with references for the origins of the character  
highlighting elements, so as to pick up descriptions of them.  I have  
just guessed in  
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/Highlighting.html.
