        I had made FONT SGML_EMPTY in the Lynx DTD, as for some other
commonly interdigitated SGML_MIXED elements, and look for their end
tags independently of the SGML stack, so they shouldn't be a problem.
The problem, as has been explained before is with one's that must
stay declared as SGML_MIXED, in which case the SGML parser must
substitute what it's expecting.  The worst offender in my experience
is TABLEs with FORMs in the cells.  I have the table-content tags
(TH, TR, TD, etc.) declared as SGML_EMPTY, but TABLE, itself, must
stay SGML_MIXED.
