sgml-mode.el: html-close-tag

[Felix Natter]

hi,

I tried to contact jjc@jclarc.com, but it didn't work (although
www.jclarc.com works). Maybe you should change the "Maintainer" field
in sgml-mode.el to another address ?

I wrote a html-close-tag function for html-mode, which
works similar to the `sgml-insert-end-tag' in psgml:
http://www.uni-bonn.de/~herrchen/closetag.el

I have some questions before I can provide a patch:

- when I eval this code, it loads 'thingatpt (for thing-at-point
  'word) and 'mule-util (?). do we have to add (require ...)
  statements as is done for 'skeleton and 'outline ?

- do we need to support comments that end in i.e. "-- >" ?
  (allowed in HTML 4, section 3.2.4 of the specification)
  currently html-close-tag exits with an error.

- there are three variables, and they are likely used "file-locally"
  (in <!-- Local Variables: ...). Should we still make them available
  via defcustom ? if so, which group should they be put in ? (sgml or
  html, which doesn't yet exist)

- I have written a testsuite for html-close-tag (included in
  closetag.el) Should we put it in sgml-mode.el, too ? It's about
  70 lines.

thanks,
