Variations
In Version 1, the <P> element was a separator
and the </P> element was not defined.
RFC 1866 changed the concept to a container and introduced the
optional </P> element.
The LANG and DIR attributes are introduced with the
internationalization proposal.
HTML+ introduced the ALIGN attribute
and is the only proposal to mention the indent value.
The internationalization proposal includes
ALIGN=center|left|right|justify
Netscape 2.0 implements ALIGN=center|left|right and
MS Internet Explorer 2.0 implements ALIGN=center|left|right|justify
Version 3 does not currently include indent as an option
for ALIGN.
The CLEAR attribute is proposed in Version 3 to deal with text
able to float around an image defined with the IMG element.
HTML+ introduced the ID attribute
to replace the NAME attribute
in the A element to establish internal hyperlink destinations.
With the expected use of ID for style sheets, this is likely to change.
HTML+ proposed WRAP to turn off automatic word wrap, making it possible
to leave text as it appears in the source.
Version 3 replaces the WRAP attribute and values with the NOWRAP attribute.
The P element is Level 0.
