'Morgen,
My hardline semantics reply would be...
Math (a2), square units (km2),
Should be MathML?
chemistry formulas (Na2CO3) ...
ChemML?
I exactly know your reason for putting it this way, but (and the same
goes for modularity) it does not serve the common needs (read: a
straightforward use without a heavy overhead stuff) of marking up the
simple construction used just for a common unit. (I know you use the
form of "sqm" and "mph" but we have solely "m^2" and "kmh^-1"). I'm not
talking scientific stuff, weird formulas or equations. Speaking of which
... the numbers 0-9 should be available in Unicode in both subscript and
superscript if I'm not mistaken, so it should cover this basic usage.
we're thinking XHTML 2.0 for a second
That's what I tried not to do. The reason? When I hear XHTML2 two things
pop up in my mind ... W3C and IE, I don't quite know which one is more
distant from the ideas of HTML and web at all. Honestly, it gets weary
to think in the theoretical field over and over after some time. And you
know what I mean, I'd like to see it in real ... once. Or see my kids
working with it / using it at some point ;)
Theoretically, would you like it more if it were called
<indexsomething />?
Possibly, yes.
That was what I thought - the element serves its purpose ... at least to
some extent; it's only stupidly called and treated ;)
(Take it with a grain of salt, as always.)
