Use padding / margin thru CSS instead of BRs...
OK, so I want:
Mary had a little lamb,
little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
whose fleece was white as snow.
So I would mark this up as:

Mary had a little lamb, br
I'm sorry but that is ridiculous.
We are talking about a poem and I assure you that the lines have a
very definite semantic significance. Therefore the separation of the
text into lines *must* be retained even in the absence of CSS. Any
solution other than the br tag is needlessly
Hi,
Andrew makes sense :)
What you can do is.. use pre/pre tags for the poem lines you just type
the lines how should it look inside the pre tags.
So you can include PRE tags for every stanzas and maintain the gap between
them with CSS padding.
Thanks,

I am getting a bit bogged down with this new stuff!
I used figure in this case:
figure

height=400/
p style=text-align:center
Marram Grass

and the (experimental) validator said

I dont know html5 but a definition list should be in html4:
dl
dt/dt
dd/dd
/dl
But then again html5 seems to not need opening or closing tags in a lot of
cases, as it accommodates for a more sloppy way of coding and therefore the
validator may be incorrect.

How vital is it to have states available as a pull-down, rather than
a simple text field? If the pull-down is non-negotiable, my
suggestion would be to move the country choice to the top of the
address section: I think that might be a little less

Didn't assume anything. That was sent from my phone. Apologies.

I agree with Andrew. I'd find it far less confusing to enter my country
first, rather than in the middle of the address. (Personally, I also
find having state before city very strange.)

In terms of coding such a form, are you populating the state field with any
information that depends on knowing what country the user is in? (or any
other location dependant information in other fields?).
If the answer is yes, then I'd say it's quite important to have the country
field *before*

Here's an example where Country comes before state:
