I should have been more concise. Any browser can ignore HTML v3
attributes (not tags, I didn't say "tags") added to HTML v2 tags, without
altering the content. Obviously, ignoring <note> or <fig> will change the
document.
ID may be an exception, although <p id=foo> is still a <p> if you ignore
that attribute. Is Arena even supporting this yet?
