If nothing else, the emphasis on "rendered/rendering" reinforces the idea it's a presentational aspect. It doesn't define WHAT it is (semantics), only HOW it's presented. -- Patrick H. Lauke _____________________________________________________ *** Here's how xhtml2.0 defines the text module which includes [sup] "9. XHTML Text Module This section is normative. This module defines all of the basic text container elements, attributes, and their content models that are "inline level". Note that while the concept of "inline level" can be construed as a presentation aspect, in this case it is intended to only have a semantic meaning." Note in particular the phrase "in this case it is intended to only have a semantic meaning." That seems pretty clear. While that may or may not be the current definition of [sup], it certainly seems to be headed for a structural/semantic definition since it is defined in this module. drew ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
