It seems to me that what some people are really concerned about is that you cannot stuff keywords into a HR tag?
That is not the real concern from my perspective, it is simply a fact that it adds nothing other than a visual effect that can be achieved by other means in CSS. Words are everything on the web, without them we have no content and no meaning, and certainly things are being debased by people who keyword stuff - one of Barney's original points (display:none) . IMO, you are right in saying that there is a potential effect on the language. There will come a time when the books have been lost and all we have are web pages (or their equivalent). If a writing style has been developed to cater for the frequency of keywords, a certain subtlety to our language will have been lost. People might not care to read such articles, but then again may not be able to find anything other than in that style due to the working of search engines. It is a great passion of mine, the fact that we are creating a great pile of "grey goo" for our descendants, each day getting a little worse, hence my absolute fixation with semantics / standards and indeed my very terse style of mark up, as opposed to style of writing - Rob http://ele.vation.co.uk ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
