Why aren't you just dealing with this server side and generating the

Mordechai, please elaborate on this point: how does HTML lose
semantic value when ids & classes are added? I think of ids &
classes as being semantically neutral or inert. I can see losing
semantic value when meaningful elements such as Hn and CITE are
replaced with DIV and P and SPAN, but how can the semantic value of a
page change either negatively or positively by adding or subtracting
ids & classes?
Thanks,
Paul
