It seems an ever-present issue on mailing lists that some people send HTML posts, and other people get annoyed with this. Has anyone thought of defining a minimal DTD for mailing list postings? No-one really wants/needs the full capabilities of HTML, yet it would be nice to have -something- more sophisticated than plain text. I would be happy with two features: an anchor tag <a href=.."></a> for embedding URLs, and a way of indicating quoted text. Ie: <quote sender="joe@f..." lang="en"> blah blah.. </quote> "quote" elements can be nested, which makes a nice alternative to growing sets of '>'s. As long as simplicity is the primary goal, text marked up in such a fashion will be readable by everyone.
