Marc,

In "http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu:80/SDG/Software/MacSoftDesc.html" you have
used an unusual variant of description lists:

    DL>
    <DT> <I> Version: </I> 1.0
    <DT> <I> System requirements: </I>
    </DL>

There are <DT> tags without any corresponding <DD> tags. Currently, the
HTML spec seems to require each <DT> to be paired with a <DD>. Furthermore
there must be at least one <DT> in the list.

Now are you suggesting that we relax this requirement?
If so what should be permitted with in <DL> ... </DL>?

Best wishes,

Dave Raggett
