Re: HTML Flow objects that span rules

Ed Burns asks about starting a flow object in one rule and ending it
in another.

Flow objects must be atomic within their construction rules.  They are
*objects*, not tags.  This is the main reason I don't like the so-
called "HTML Flow Objects"; using the syntax '<tr>' to mean "create
the flow object whose HTML representation begins with the string
'<tr>'" has the strong and intuitive implication that one is
generating markup, not objects, and this is exactly where Ed has
gotten confused.

I don't believe that this will be a problem in the public draft to be
released in July.
