True but if you _were_ looking to add some tag implication functionality (which seemed to be the suggestion at the point mathml entered this thread) looking at what was or was not possible using sgml would probably be a useful guideline, even if the html5 spec, and certainly any browser based html5 implementation wouldn't actually use an sgml parser. > Hixie suggested that.

I don't mind tags being non-optional but then I don't mind xhtml, so I'm not sure that I can really judge whether it makes sense for an html5+"math-which-may-or-may-not-be-mathml"+svg+whatever document to use html conventions in the html bits and XML elsewhere, or whether it would be more natural to make extensive use of implied markup througout. I'm sure that arguments could be made either way (but this probably isn't the right list) David
