Hi Martin If it is a "Heading" yes it's semantic, if not - it's not semantic.
If it's not a heading I would probable use something like this: <span class="date"> March 23 - 2004</span> Cheers Jeff Lowder Accessibility 1st Website: www.accessibility1st.com.au Blog: www.accessibility1st.com.au/journal/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Stender Sent: Wednesday, 24 March 2004 7:32 AM To: Web Standards Group Subject: [WSG] articledates and bylines Hi all, I'm about to begin a new project, and just got myself wondering about the most semantically correct way to establish overall site markup-guidelines. I'm coming from a print background, and therefore try to make apply most common newspaper/magazine structure to the markup. So: H1: publication title/masthead H2: section heading H3: article heading H4: article subheading But I was wondering about the most correct way to markup article-dates and bylines. The <address> element sort of makes sense for bylines, although the spec says: "The ADDRESS element may be used by authors to supply contact information for a document or a major part of a document such as a form. This element often appears at the beginning or end of a document." But I guess I just have to choose H5 or H6 for article-dates, right? Perhaps its just me, but I kind of wonder why there isn't a dedicated element for that, since publishing dates appear on tens of thousands of websites throughout the world. Would, for instance "<h5 title="publishing date">March 23 - 2004</h5>" be the most semantically correct way to markup a date?
