Re: lynx-dev correct </form> syntax in options menu

to follow up on what Leonid Pauzner said:

The HTML 3.0 DTD, for example, indicates that </option> is
optional, not must-be-absent.

<!ELEMENT OPTION - O (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST OPTION
        %attrs;
        selected (selected) #IMPLIED
        value  CDATA  #IMPLIED -- default to element content --
        shape %SHAPE; #IMPLIED -- for graphical selection menus --
        disabled (disabled) #IMPLIED -- unselectable option --
        error CDATA #IMPLIED   -- why this choice is in error --
        >

The " - O " in the content model only gets strengthened to "closing
tag forbidden" in the case of empty elements, I believe.

Is this right?  Any SGML readers around?
