But that's not right... This is an example of an often mis-used HTML element for visual purposes. Because dd is indented by default, authors use it instead of defining a CSS class for a semanticless <div> element. I'm -1 for using definition data elements for indentation. It breaks the semantics of the page. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
