It seems that you don't know what "tag" means. Besides, you are not using
any paragraph structure in your Usenet message.

People using such devices won't have a great experience on the Web anyway,
since the vast majority of web pages are nowhere near valid XHTML, or even
"well-formed XML".
Yet the point is what I wrote in my message that you responded to, and
indirectly quoted (as a quote inside a quote), though without having
anything to say on my point: mixing HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 is clueless. And
as exemplified in this thread, it often results from copying markup without
understanding it or the bigger context.
