Hi!

Sorry for asking a maybe trivial question (and for
getting a bit off-track):

> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
> which is English with HTML 3.2 markup

What "in English"? English markup or English
"proper text"?

I could imagine (though there is none now)
HTML 3.2 markup in, say, Swedish.

But are you saying that if the "proper text"
of the document is in, say, Swedish, I should write
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//SV">
at the top, even if the markup is "in English"?
(I thought that the "EN" meant that the
**markup** is based on English words.)

And language attributes are to become a part
of HTML, suitable also for multilingual
"proper texts"...

        (Sorry, I don't know SGML.)
