Re^2: Perl 6 release dates - two years later

Next time, can you please close those tr and td tags?

The tags are closed, but I presume you mean the elements aren't closed. However, closing those elements is not needed. From the HTML 4.01 spec:

<!ELEMENT TR       - O (TH|TD)+        -- table row -->
<!ELEMENT (TH|TD)  - O (%flow;)*       -- table header cell, table dat
+a cell-->

If I liked to type in more keystrokes than necessary, I'd be programming in Java instead of Perl. If you have broken software that can't deal elements that aren't closed, complain to your vendor.

The XHTML spec says they have to be closed (or use an empty tag, like `<td />`, but I generally only use that for tags like `<hr />` that don't have any data associated with them). Properly balanced tags make things much easier to parse. "There is no shame in being self-taught, only in not trying to learn in the first place." -- Atrus, Myst: The Book of D'ni.
