Just a thought on this... I agree, with print, but think perhaps the web works differently. There's no different end-of-sentence character, and UAs aren't designed to render some spaces larger than others. (I habitually press Ctrl + . at the end of sentences from spending too much time in LyX and wish there were an equivalent way to do things with HTML, but alas I think it's not to be). You could go further and invent your own schema with a <s> element for sentences if you care that much... but personally I think this is something more for print and perhaps not suited to appropriation given the tools we do/don't have.
I doubt that anyone can spot an italicised period. . :-) !
Why not just unitalicise the <i> tag? Unless you're using it where you actually need italics, of course... but that doesn't happen because you use CSS and semantic markup for that, right? ;-) -- Joshua Street http://joahua.com/blog/ +61 (0) 425 808 469 ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
