Subject: <xmp> parsing


I am trying to figure out how <xmp>...</xmp> sections are parsed by
various browsers.  Could you please test this piece of HTML-code on
some of the browsers you have available:

   <xmp>hei og på <b>foo&amp;bar</b><!-- foo --></xmp>

Netscape-4.61 and Lynx-2.8 agree and that neither tags, entities nor
comments should have their usual meaning inside <xmp>.  All are parsed
as plain text (CDATA).  Kfm-1.167.2.11 does not seem to recognize
<xmp> at all.  Others?
