Has this become a philosophical discussion yet?  I quite like the idea
of such a topic.

OK, so how far do we take this thinking on semantics etc. For example, many people use a div called 'header'. Suppose I decide to put this at the bottom?!!! Taking this to the extreme, it suggests that 'header' is presentational/positional.

So, what we need is a summary of useful 'box-names' which are semantically sound, but which don't actually mean anything!

I'm calling this the 'standards contradiction syndrome'. :-)


Doug Bowman talked [almost] lucidly about this at Webstock (recordings are here http://www.webstock.org.nz/recordings.php) - I thought it was worth listening to, even though Doug admitted his thinking was still only forming on the subject.

cheers
