Variations

The SUB element was in an early Version 2 proposal and is part

of the internationalization proposal, but is not in RFC 1866.

No font size change was implied in Version 2 nor is any specified

as part of the internationalization proposal since it may not

make sense in non-English languages.

The internationalization proposal explicitly restricts the content

to parsed character data to prevent nesting of SUB and SUP.

This element is a Netscape 2.0 extension which renders the text

in a slightly smaller font.

All character definition elements are Level 2.
