The words "target" and "onsubmit" should be differently rendered, using quotes, italics, <code>, <var>, <tt>, or suchlike. Similar cases can probably be found elsewhere, e.g. "confirm". Fragment "if not" should be "if that is not". In 8.8, A) & B) should start a line or become (A) & (B). -- (c) John Stockton, Surrey, UK. ?@merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.05 MIME.
