PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Pass 2: <group> Tag

Unexpected behavior in comparison to old <prog> tag:

<if "<get-var option>" <group
        <TR>
        <TD ALIGN=RIGHT>Option: <get-var option></TD>
        </TR>
>>

Output (with option unset):

<TDOption: </TD>
        </TR>
>>

Output (with option set):

<TROption: no</TD>
        </TR>
>>

Solution:

Use of quotation marks - the tag seems to work right in the following way:

<if "<get-var option>" <group
        "<TR>
        <TD ALIGN=RIGHT>Option: <get-var option></TD>
        </TR>"
>>

This is reported as error because:

* the <prog> from wml::sys::compat1 is not compatible this way

* this behavior seems unlogical to me and is not explained in the
documentation
