Another thought on the <br> vs <br />, the editor should be able to be "skinned" with the DOCTYPE of the page. That is, like we can change theme or the "skin" of the editor, we should be able to change the target DOCTYPE and the code produced by the editor compliant with that DOCTYPE. I would suggest that it do no earlier than DOCTYPE DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional.
W3C recognizes HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 (Strict, Transitional and Frameset), and possibly XHTML 1.1
This also brings up the issue does CuteEdit edit “true” XML and if so does it allow the usage of XSL to render that XML document. One step farther, could it be extended to preview the XML Document with multiple XLS’s? I think I will stop now because I am sure that if one of the software developers at CuteSoft reads this they are going to need a roll of Tums.\
