Hi Peter Yes, these tags are semantic, in the context of a document. One could declare a document section instead of saying that there's a container. This way one can easily make a table of contents of several documents.
Not semantic in the sense they describe the knowledge in that document - that's what RDF, OWL are for. cheers -- diogo patrão On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 7:04 PM, Peter F.
