The problem is that it isn't clearly specified. The purpose of a definition list isn't actually defined beyond its name. > I like this loose interpretation I tend towards following Postel's Law: Be conservative in what you do; be liberal in which you accept from others. Or, to apply it to this example: if you are writing HTML then assume a strict interpretation (it is for definitions only) and if you are writing a user agent then assume a loose interpretation (its for keys with any number of values). -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
