RE: HTML 5 ...

Dear Yucca,

You make a good point there. However, I tend to find that the web authors who prefer the TABLE/FONT route tend not to care much for validation!

However, I agree with what you are saying� in fact, Hixie has gone out of his way to incorporate the legacy techniques which are used in the �real world�, like it or not (e.g. the EMBED element, as you mentioned).

That is what I like so much about HTML5 spec: it has adopted a �pave the cowpaths� approach � the exact opposite attitude of the now-defunct XHTML2 spec.

PS: I just wanted to say that your website has helped me a lot over the years, and is one of my regular sources of reference, time and time again. I would say keep up the good work; however, think you�ve done enough already! Thanks for that!
