Great, I'm not alone in thinking about this ;-)

Exactly, the above is very much along the thoughts and ideas I have  
of the ultimate nirvana in regards to the XHTML dev stuff in TM. I  
would like to have the syntax, snippets & commands help me with  
producing correct valid code, without having to do a tidy or W3C  
check on it. This would also extend to CSS & JS of course.

By all means please help out, and trust me, Allan will - and does -  
help out if he can.   I'd love to discuss ideas with you so perhaps  
on the IRC. I'm there most days.


Kind regards,

Mats
