Attributes and elements with optional end + tags are not checked, as they should not cause disasters + with any decent browsers (they should ignore any + unrecognized tags and attributes according to the + standard). A piece of HTML that passes HTMLQuickCheck may + not necessarily be valid HTML, but it would be very + unlikely to screw others but itself. A valid piece of HTML + that doesn't pass the HTMLQuickCheck is however very + likely to screw many browsers(which are obviously broken + in terms of strict conformance). + + HTMLQuickCheck currently supports HTML 1.0, 2.x (draft), + 3.0 (draft) and netscape extensions (1.1). + |
