Unresolved bug in PR2.

[Gene W Homicki]

Linus,

 +---
 | This is bad html.  You really want to do:
 |
 [CORRECT HTML]
 |
 | Check out the html 2.0 spec on http://www.w3.org/ (or should I  
 | write <URL:http://www.w3.org/> ?-)
 +---

	Yep, conincidentally I was reading it over just as your mail
popped up. I seem to remember that when I did this on a few other
(PC/Mac) browsers, that it would put the actual escape codes in (the
&lt; instead of < for example).  I will test this out again on some
of the PC/Mac/X browsers tomorrow morning though.

The issue of leading spaces on each line still stands..I could
escpae them...but you brought up the problems with this in your
message...

 +---
 | On a related issue, a problem I've been having with every browser,  
 | not just OmniWeb, is that nobody is consistent when these markup  
 | characters need to be escaped!  In general nobody seems to agree  
 |
 [CHOMP]
 |
 | Does anybody know what the true religion is on these issues?
 +---

	These issues were being discussed on the html-wg mailing list,
and the last message I can find on the topic basically says "There is
a problem and it has to change."  I'm not sure what the solution will
be, but there does need to be one...and soon.
