And I happen to disagree with leaving out <acronym>. An acronym is NOT the same as an abbreviation. An acronym is something that might look like a word *but is not pronounced as one*. For instance, "DOD" isn't pronounced "dawd," it's pronounced as individual letters. That's what <acronym> indicates. Abbreviation doesn't indicate that. For example, "Mr." is an abbreviation but nobody pronounces it "m r ." They pronounce it "mister". But I see no benefit to HTML5, anyway - the browser developers will screw it up just as they did earlier versions. ;-) -- David gn...@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
