Or at least don't call it 'html', it confuses everybody (even people on this list), instead, incorporate those tags into the Wiki-syntax and define them as Wiki-markup-codes: document them and ban all other HTML-markup-codes.
Yup -- stop treating then as HTML to be passed "as is" to the browser -- treat them as wiki tags that must be parsed.

Agree! :-) However... <td>s don't necessarily have to be closed, it just depends on how one defines them. They should, indeed, be regarded as 'wiki-tags', not as 'passable html-tags'. If <br> is deprecated, what would be the way to generate single line-breaks? I like them: they provide a way to sub-structure a paragraph, and it does almost cost nohing: no special character, no special tag... Why not allow single line-break?
Thanks, Pieter
