Well, you're bound to be disappointed because I can think of no adult
here who fits those criteria. Maybe one of the new kids will woosh
forth unwobbley to fill this technical environmental niche.

Anyway, such questions used to be answered by
"allmyfaqs.net/faq.pl?Alt.html_FAQ" but I just got a dead link there.
(Perhaps that's why there're so many deadheads here..?) However,
another Google link in close proxinity led me to this:

Encouraged topics include:

* Any question pertaining the the use of HTML
* Discussion of W3C recommendations
* Design issues involved in authoring world wide web documents
* Request for a site critique (see below on how to get your site
critiqued) * Implementation issues involved in launching a website
* Issues involved in running a web site.

which is at: "http://www.html-faq.com/alt.html/?ontopic"

Er, I guess you're right, although back in the good old days when Ed
Mullen was middle-aged we used "plonk" to mean something considerably,
especially among males in barroom conversations.

Aw, shucks, now I feel like the little boy who told the little girl
that her blouse had become unbuttoned.

No the best he can do it point you to the alt.html faq which state
that anything web is a valid topic in alt.html.

"alt.html is a Usenet newsgroup devoted to all aspects of website
design and development. It is a general mix of webmasters, coders,
artists and designers, and the group caters for all levels of website
development from the first personal webpage to the latest cutting-edge
fully accessible commercial websites."

Shemp, "all aspects" would include XML.

You really are obtuse...
