another thought. i haven't looked at the list carefully enough to
notice, but is each element represented once and exactly once? when
i first suggested i wanted to create a list like this, i planned on
having some elements in possibly more than once category.
for instance, a category called "inline markup" might contain the
element <computeroutput>, and another category called "computer specific
markup" might contain the same element.
not a big deal, just an observation that sometimes a single element
can be viewed from a couple different perspectives.
