I was all fired up to call you out on this, and ask you what insane cocaine you were smoking when you main this claim. I was a web developer for many many years and standards were very, very important to me. I thought I knew the specs. And then I ran that by validator.w3.org along with an HTML 4.01 strict DTD, and - to my utter shock and surprise and horror - it turns out you were correct. Thanks for sharing.
