This approach resolves the issue that IDs have to be unique, however it does not address how to identify, without a DTD, which attributes actually are IDs. A "cleaner" way of implementing something like this might be using an attribute in a different namespace, like this: <html xmlns:robots="http://www.robotstxt.org/2002/robots1";> ... <div robots:robots="noindex,follow"> header nav area </div> <div robots:robots="index,follow"> main text, and <span robots:robots="noindex,nofollow">main text ad insert</span> more high reference text <span robots:robots="joke-noindex-nofollow">insert the resource miner's moral booster of the day</span> </div> <span robots:robots="noindex,nofollow">a common content sponsor one liner</span> <div robots:robots="index,follow"> footer nav area </div> <div robots:robots="noindex,follow"> more footer nav area </div> <span robots:robots="noindex,nofollow">a random news item</span> <span robots:robots="noindex,nofollow">a random service sponsor one liner</span> ... </html> or for easier processing, use one attribute per axis: <html xmlns:robots="http://www.robotstxt.org/2002/robots2";> ... <div robots:index="false" robots:follow="true"> header nav area </div> ... </html> While syntactically correct, the semantics are still unclear, e.g. * what does "nofollow" mean for text * how should a robot index and present something like <span robots:robots="index">This is a <span robots:robots="noindex">top secret</span> word</span> As "This is a word"? -- Klaus Johannes Rusch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.atmedia.net/KlausRusch/ -- This message was sent by the Internet robots and spiders discussion list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
