You must like to maintain the great unwashed position, but if you would just
take a look and see, you would be happy for what has been done to you, and
only some that you would really have to learn again. And, try to look at it
with the idea that these standards have been established to give Doug the
capabilities he needs in this present open standard open source effort. The
more you look, the more you will be impressed.
But if you are going to ornery about having to include </p> tags, then there
is little hope. Take a good look at the present bootstrap site and you will
see many 3.2 and 'artsy' examples that keep info from being indexed and
accessible.
And do not threaten to abuse a pizza like that.
Some may take offense.
