I just looked at the html-lib.scm I sent you, and indeed it does the  
same thing:

       (for-each (lambda (attribute)
           (##write-substring " " 0 1 port)
           (let ((name (attribute-name attribute)))
             (##write-substring name 0 (string-length name) port))
           (if (attribute-takes-value? attribute)
               (begin
             (##write-substring "=\"" 0 2 port)
             (protect (attribute-value attribute))
             (##write-substring "\"" 0 1 port))))
         (html-form-attributes x))

So I must have added the same capability after the version that Marc  
started with. Sorry for not noticing that before.

I tried to study the differences between the files using both diff  
and ediff in emacs, and the result was a mess.  Later I used the  
emacs "Indent region" command on both files before using ediff, and  
that helped.

I forgot the dt tag in the version that Marc and you used, so please add

(define-tag dt start-newline?: #t)

to your library.  I also changed a lot more tags to start a newline.   
Perhaps I should just do as Oleg does in

http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/SXML.scm

and have all block-level html plus <BR> start a newline.
