(...) 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)

(...) I was afraid of that. :-, (...) I'm prone to just go with the simpler form, copying the X-Ref header, for several reasons: a) I don't have to enter the Web interface and search for messages to find the URL, b) The URL can be automagically (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) 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, - (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) Ahh, good idea. The URLs for the articles are less stable than the Xref lines are. For example, when the new web-interface/hierarchy is moved into place, shortly after that will come a remapping of all the article URLs (but the old ones will (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) What you're talking about sounds more like an inherited directory filter than a header exclude. Hmmm, could this be solved by placing a token file at strategic spots in the directory structure? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.faq)
