 Conversion to MathML is obviously more difficult because the base has to

Then we agree. As stated a the beginning of discussion by some, TeX
backward compatibility will be maintained so many as was possible.

[classes:] vector or Hilbert-vector [or] ket.
I would leave [the choice] to authors until that a generic
semantic markup was achieved, proved to be consistent and powerful and
 then used by authors.

 With all the different concepts and notational conventions that exist in
 different scientific fields and mathematical disciplines, no such thing
 as a generic semantic mark-up is likely to appear any time soon. I tend
 to believe that you agree.

I wait to see content markups spreading in a near future, but I think that
semantic markup is a dead horse (as AI was decades ago). Still semantic
web is main vision of Tim Bray last years (the WHATWG takes a pragmatic
approach trying to solve everyday problems).

 The combination of author-defined classes and CSS styling obviously
 makes sense in many ways. Still, I am a bit reluctant when it comes to
 encoding the right font using the class attribute. Perhaps a profile
 would make it acceptable, as suggested by Michel Fortin.

Maybe.

Also tag is not usual in French texts.

 I am afraid I do not understand what you mean.

Oops! I did mean tan.

[whatwg] Summary in lists

2006-06-12 Thread Isac Backlund








Hi,



I think that the summary attribute should be an optinal
attribute on the dl, ul, ol and menu element.



And why? Becouse i would like to have an attribute that
summarizes the content in the list.



What do you guys and girls think about that?
