This is fundamentally flawed: I admit you've been helpful for xml related questions, but don't get me started on software design, ok? A doctpye declaration declares elements, and relationships between elements of a given sgml or xml subset: browsers could not parse anything AT ALL without something that looks exactly like the corresponding DTD, browsers could do shit. Now do you have anything to backup assertions? Like one freaking link, proof? Think twice and more before answering this one, I got my answer ready =) I hate false information, I am sorry to tell you you're being silly to an extent on this one. ------------------------ This is irritating: [quote] They are just two rendering modes and are allowing more sloppy code. Browsers are just tag slurpers, they are not using DTDs to parse documents. [/quote] AND FALSE! What do you think? That browser slurp tags one after another and got magical templates to map those tags? That browser call the oracle of html, included as a dll, to tell them how to do their work?` Browsers CANNOT BE BUILT without a document type definition: it is the starting point to building such an app. Hell, even Dreamweavers include one in plain text.
