well, if you're just developing for IE, that's one thing... but since i've 
found MS's HTML docs wrong on many occassions (not just by 
listing the <marquee> tag, but by including attributes on real tags 
that can choke some browsers), that's the last place i look...

and i know you're familiar with the W3C HTML specs...

i think they've moved a lot of their stuff around a while back, 
because their HTML stuff seems merged with the DHTML stuff (and 
is also scattered among their HTML Help and HTML+TIME stuff as 
well)...

either way, the HTML elements reference is at (under the DHTML 
section):
