I know that this topic has dragged on a bit, but I am very interested in
the development of 'our' language and the implications of all the things
being discussed.
Interestingly, I note the proposition that <hr> is to be replaced with
<separator> in future versions of xhtml (2) :
{
hr Replaced By separator
The name of the hr element, "horizontal rule", has always caused
problems for content authors and tool vendors. The name implies that it
is a horizontal line, when in fact it was intended to be use to separate
one part of a document from another. Using separator resolves these
misunderstandings.
and this suggests to me that there is a need for such a tag (whatever
it's called!). see:
http://xhtml.com/en/future/x-html-5-versus-xhtml-2/
}
I feel very restricted by the use of <div> (even with a descriptive
identifier or class) because <div> means very little. I'm glad we have
such things as <p> (and the rest!) because they make code easier to read.
Roll on xhtml 5! However I suspect this is way way down the line and
everything will have changed anyway.
In the meantime, the less divs I can use, the better . . .
