[uf-discuss] Semanticizin': Significance of order in argument lists

2006-10-27 Thread Dimitri Glazkov

This is something I just now realized, and while all excited, I
thought I'd send to the list:

When using HTML lists (ul/ol) for representing operand argument lists,
it appears very logical to identify the distinction between ordered
and unordered as that of and and or, respectively.

In other words,

ol
lithis/li
lithat/li
/ol

Can mean this and that. While,

ul
lithis/li
lithat/li
/ul

infers this or that. I am sure somebody has thought of this before,
but I haven't. Don't you think it's beautiful?

I really don't understand how you can equate the significance of the 
list item's order with the items having an and or an or relationship 
like that, nor what purpose such a distinction has.  Could you please 
elaborate?
