Hi David,
Abel
If it isn't required, but it isn't hurting either, and when it is used
for machine-reading (as opposed to human-reading), then why bother
trying to write "<elem>data" instead of "<elem>data</elem>"?
With the default sgml declaration, a closing tag for an element declared
empty would be an error, as for example <img></img> is an error in
HTML.
I understand. But I was really just reacting to the phrase "not
required" in the original question, assuming that "not required" meant:
not required, but allowed. Of course, I can't know without seeing the
real DTD.
Regards,
Abel
