Hi Anne, I didn't understand the answer. When an old browser that knows
nothing of <module> specifically sees "<table><module></table>", does it
consider the <module> to be closed when it sees the </table> ? This also
raises the question: Does such an old browser consider the <table> to be
closed by this occurrence of </table>?
