1) I highly doubt there'll be an HTML 5.  They went from 4.01 to XHTML 1.0
and forward from there.  XHTML is the successor to the throne.

2) Has fP's HTML even been updated past HTML 3.2?  Were there any additions
to it in 5.6 over 5.0?  Does it support CSS?

3) At the point where you have to use ZZ with almost everything to take
advantage of newer standards, the pseudo layer gets to be more of a PITA
than it's worth, IMNSHO.
