Correct, and when authoring, the DTD is what should be followed.
However, given the large amount (90%, per Sturgeon) of crap out there,
Lynx shouldn't necessarily follow the DTD, but should follow common
sense. Users may well enter
<p>bla blahb albh
<hr>
blah blahb labh
expecting that the rule will be in the middle of a paragraph. I can't
imagine someone expecting a heading mid-paragraph, though. (I'm sure
someone will prove me wrong.)
[More about editors snipped]
I have yet to see a good HTML editor that wasn't SGML-based; Claris's
is... non-Scottish, let's say; and NavGold is pretty bad, too.
