A week's work and I now know more about HTML parsing than I wanted to. Even though 2 months back I thought I knew all I would ever need or want to know.
Long story short: The HTML specs say empty (or moolean) attributes like "nowrap" in <TD nowrap> can have ="" appended to them. Some read the specs to say "they must" have ="" appended. To me it seems either is OK, both are valid.
Our HTML sanitiser uses AngleSharp which errs on the side of perfect formatting. I love it. However, it means that if the input HTML isn't perfect then it gets a little weird. So the solution has been to ensure that AngleSharp only sees well-formed (or at least, not-obviously-broken) HTML, so I wrote a quick and dirty pre-processor to get things sorted before they went to AngleSharp and it's all better.
Hopefully.

Yeah, constantly. Just like the rest of the industry...

The cows are taking over! 
Boolean attributes can also have the same value as the attribute name:
If the attribute is present, its value must either be the empty string or a value that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the attribute's canonical name, with no leading or trailing whitespace.
So <td nowrap>, <td nowrap=""> and <td nowrap="nowrap"> all mean the same thing.

Moolean means "maybe boolean". It's there, it's not, it's both, it's whichever works for you.
Just like HTML standards.

I have been confirming my adress since I joined, about 15 years ago? It's clearly something badly programmed or you want to find out something about your users without being clear about it. In either case it's wrong, you should stop.

Confirming email addresses is the way to find out that the email account associated with CP is still the active one (for the purposes of sending you things you've subscribed to such as the newsletters), and that the account is still active. It's not being done for nefarious purposes.

In 12 years you have only posted 8 messages so CP needs to check that you are still around.

I beg to differ.
"Bad programming" is sending emails, year after year, to email addresses that have been abandoned or closed without ensuring the account is still actually active. We ask for emails to be reconfirmed specifically to avoid sending emails to accounts from those who simply aren't interested, have left a company, or have closed their account in order to reduce the amount of junk emails going around.
It's the right thing to do, and I wish more organisations would do it.
We also do our best to silently confirm emails. You click a link on an article or news item in an email and our system will note that you opened and visited a link in your email, hence your email is active and we won't bother you again for a while.

Do you filter out temporary email domains (such as mailinator)? If not, that may be a good idea.

I recently had to confirm my email address ... first time in about 5 years ...because I haven't been active on the site for a few months. I like these checks ... I've seen what I believe to be "hacked" accounts posting rubbish... I'd rather have to spend 30 seconds confirming that this is "me" than some ***** being able to post stuff in my name.
Be more active

I updated my email address and ever since have not received any of the newsletter daily emails. Can someone take a look? I miss them. Thanks!

I have sent you an email confirmation request which should help resolve the issue. Please let me know if you receive it OK.
Thanks,

I answered a QA question following a link on the main page (Latest Discussions).
But the question (How I download and install wireless sensor network simulator v1.1[^]) did not appear in the QA list so far (posted over an hour ago).
To answer the expected question in advance: No QA filter set.
Even using the tag link on the question did not show it in the list (a seldom tag so that there are only few new questions: Quick Answers[^] ).
Not a problem for me but probably for those asking and wondering why they got no or few answers.
Would be nice if someone else can confirm this or check if the question is shown for him.

This one's a little puzzling. How did you see it if it wasn't appearing in the list?
I'm wondering if it was trapped in the moderation queue. You have plenty of rep to see items under moderation.

I saw it on the main page at "Latest Discussions", followed the link and answered. Later I could see it in my list of anwers.
But know it is clear:
Quote: Closed because the post is not clear, or is incomplete and has not been phrased in a way that allows it to be fully understood.. Reported by Chris Maunder on Monday, November 28, 2016 3:17pm
However, you closed it one hour after my message and two hours after the question has been posted.
I think you should close this case now.
BTW: There is a double full stop in the "Closed" message.

Ctrl+Right/Left arrow keys thread navigation not working either. JavaScript is enabled, and it happens on Opera and on Chrome on two different computers.
