Shouldn't that read "more meaningful form"?  HTML does nothing about
the content as far as I see.

One could say that exactly because people should look at their
content, they should not distract themself and their readers with
extraneous form elements.  In my experience HTML is very, very rarely
an improvement in email (or Usenet) messages.


so long, benny
