That sounds like a pretty good list. Also need:
- <I> and <B>,
- <TT> and possibly <VAR> for things like command lines, program names, and
newsgroup names,
- <BR> for breaking closely-spaced runs of lines like command line
sequences,
- possibly <U> and <S> for scientific or legal passages and bibliographies,
book references, etc. (but only if they're really necessary),
- and probably <BLOCKQUOTE>,
- and a convention that tags be written in either uppercase or mixed-case.
And I say let's banish (or deprecate) <STRONG> and <EM> from this, for not
only are they excessively cumbersome compared to <B> and <I>, but they're
less guaranteed to do what's expected of them.

Isn't <H3> better for (optional) small section labels? (That's what you use
in the LDraw FAQ and it looks pretty darn good.)
> More? Which attributes?
Hmm. I can't think of any for the list above, except the obvious
<A HREF=url> and maybe <OL START=n TYPE=format>...

| (...) I pretty much agree with Todd, except for the H3 -- I'm personally nervous to allow any H elements. As for attributes, I say allow them with the disclaimer that we will ignore them unless we're surprised otherwise. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.faq)
