+ The objective of the package is to provide a fast and
+ essential HTML check (esp. for CGI scripts where response
+ time is important) to prevent a piece of user input HTML
+ code from messing up the rest of a file, i.e., to minimize
+ and localize any possible damage created by including a
+ piece of user input HTML text in a dynamic document.
+
+ HTMLQuickCheck checks for unmatched < and >, unmatched
+ tags and improper nesting, which could ruin the rest of
+ the document. 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).
