Right. Also, from a _manually-editing_ author's point of view, slipping
in a space before the closing ">" is a typo that is more likely to occur
than prefixing the tag name with a space. (No statistics, just speaking
from personal experience. I've never done "< ", but I have on occasion
done " >". How do I find these errors? Use Lynx's "strict (SortaSGML
mode)", of course. Put in other words, Lynx NOT doing excessive error-
recovery is an invaluable feature.)
