GREAT Job Ted !!!

Heck, I don't even want to argue about it (but don't get used to it).

I would like to add to it a little if I may:

You can in fact write your very own "official" DTD.

No kidding. Does that add to the confusion or what?

I tell myself that it is because of this potential confusion that all of
the browsers I have ever met (personally) do an absolutely ~horrible~ job
of "reaching out" and getting the definition the URI (that is included in
every dtd) points to.

As a matter of fact, when I was last foolish enough to spend a few
(million) hours experimenting with my own dtd's (yes, once I was young and
crazy) I was _ unable _ to get the browser to go get the definition the dtd
called when the browser and the definition were on the same LAN - about
85-90% of the time it failed!!!!!!!!!

Just a little dtd trivia for you all!
HTH,
Fuzzy.
