[WEB4LIB] RE: dreamweaver MX

[D. Keith Higgs]

Not only are you making more work for yourself but, many browsers are
moving toward requiring that level of well formed XHTML, HTML5, DML,
whatever-you're-going-to-call-it coding. 

The first thing that would happen is that the browser will take longer
to render your page without it than with it. It's just like not closing
a table or providing height & width attributes for an image.  If you
provide more information, the browser can render as it receives things
rather than waiting for the entire page to load.

Personally, I wish more editing tools coded at that level.

Not an answer but a question. Why would you want to?

(Yes, it is optional but you can't go wrong by putting it in. Also, by
not putting it in you're causing yourself more work in the long run i.e.
XHTML.)
