In Unnecessary tag attributes with CGI our fellow monk peschkaj asked for some help with CGI and XHTML.

He then finds the answer in the spec (which one I don't know peschkaj does not explain)

Wouldn't it be better that when we make a mistake like this (I know we all do) that instead of asking for deletion, we leave the node and post a follow up with the answer. So, that someone searching through the archives would be pointed right to the spec (in this case) and the answer.

I have a feeling having a couple of extra nodes lying around is not going to be a problem. I'm also quite sure that the poster would not get downvoted if he|she posted the answer
