What I said was that the dislike of a browsers display of a certain
HTML+ construct is not sufficient a reason to change the use of that
construct. I agree, if we can give clients hints to improve rendering
of our documents that is a good thing. If you want no space after a H*
(before the next block) that is property of the H*, and can neatly be
handled with parameters of an H*, as Dave suggested.
Chris Lilley wrote "the rule is clearly a top line, a part of the title",
and I can see that. Maybe an <H1 rule=bottom> would do this?
What I want to prevent is the HR being used in another way than as a
block separator. Something like "<H1>Hi<Hr>there</H1>" strikes me as
abuse, and your proposed change to the DTD would allow that.
