Time for Action – No more empty Web Standards threats!
It is time to take a stand:
- Find a workmate who doesn’t close his tags, uses unencoded ampersands or commits other atrocities.
- Leave this stark warning by the markup mafia on his desk (or even better in his bed when you are on a work trip)
Thank you!

Chris,
The joke is lost on me… Care to explain? ;)

Stephane, it is a reference to the movie The Godfather.

Lower-case element names and an HTML tag with no BODY tag?! If i didn’t know better I’d say this was invalid markup.

Ah, but this assumes that the Mafia uses HTML 4.01, and not XHTML! Maybe there’s another secret clan out there, which will post XHTML manifestos with ninja-stars. :)

I do believe you’ve found the perfect way … to make sure that the person leaving the flyer is totally shunned as a complete nerd outcast :-D

Won’t the horse just generate an anonymous body? :)
That’d be useful…

There is no character data or elements that are forbidden between the head and body – so no body element will be implied.

Re: no tag
In HTML 4.01 Strict and even are all optional elements.

Let’s try that again without Wordpress stripping the tags:

Wesley: The tags are optional, but the elements are required and must still be triggered. The document is invalid.
