You make some good points Lachlan, but to be honest,
http://www.alleged.org.uk/pdc/2003/xhtml2-cite.html
rang very true for me....
Even with HTML 4's var, code, samp and kbd, we still have to use a
combination of <code><pre> for formatting as well as annoyingly having to
translate < and > into < and > And worse, some people do some odd
things just to get some code examples across:
http://yesterdayishere.com/wordpress/arhiva/2005/04/25/writing-blocks-of-code/
Meanwhile, <cite> - which is INCREDIBLY useful - is being removed?
Why not leave it in there and change the nature of <code> so that anything
typed in there acts as though it were in a text box - ie: so it isn't
executed - so we don't have to fiddle around with it all the time....
Also, it's great to say : get involved and supply an email address.
however, my biggest problem with the W3C in general is the fact that the
people working with the technology (designers and developers) are the ones
with generally the least say - I don't know many of us that can afford the
$6500 annual membership fee.... :o(
It's great that the browser manufacturers and vendors are part of the W3C
and really taking note. But they shouldn't be the ones driving the thing...

I don't agree with everything he said. You might like to see my response
to that.
