| I don't quite follow that.  That record-end should be ignored, unless
| KEEPRSRE YES is specified in an XML-style SGML declaration.  ISO
| 8879:1986 7.6.1 Record Boundaries says:
| 
|    a) The first RE in an element is ignored if no RS, data, or proper
|       subelement preceded it.
| 
| So unless overridden by a WebSGML SGML declaration, the two markup
| examples should be identical.

Brain cramp.  Mea culpa.  The they should be the same.
