I wonder if there is a better forum than p5p for expressing
disapproval about people using the wrong markup languages and using
them wrongly.  No, on second thought, that's probably not a useful
discussion anywhere.

Meanwhile, despite the nightmarish corruption of the data stream with
end tags (or their absence), most browsers can apparently process the
numerous on-line mentions of the 5.12.0 release, which is good news
for anyone interested in Perl.
