Looking at this (simplified) example from Markus:
<html>
<head>
<title id="title">My title</title>
<base onlyreplace="title">
</head>
<body>
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="otherpage.html" onlyreplace></li>
</ul>
<div id="contents">
<p>Text</p>
<div>
</body>
</head>
Would it be better to be able to specify multiple onlyload base elements? Like
so:
<html>
<head>
<title id="title">My title</title>
<base id="onlyreplace1" onlyreplace="title">
<base id="onlyreplace2" onlyreplace="contents">
</head>
<body>
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="otherpage1.html" onlyreplace="onlyreplace1">Replace the
title</a></li>
<li><a href="otherpage2.html" onlyreplace="onlyreplace2">Replace the
content</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="contents">
<p>Text</p>
<p><a href="otherpage2.html" onlyreplace="onlyreplace2">Replace
me</a></p>
<div>
</body>
</head>
That way it gives authors much more control over that they choose to be
replaced. This does mean that the "onlyreplace" attribute on links (and forms)
should perhaps be renamed "onlyreplaceref" or similar. Has this idea already
been put forward by someone else? (I may have missed it).
