I'm exploring that possibility right now and working on drafting a proposal. It would work especially well if we can intervene in the current @role working draft to add the needed keywords to the namespace. That way we could even adopt the @role namespace as our own in HTML5 in one way or another. The keywords I'm leaning toward now are 'icon', 'decorative', 'illustration', 'meaningful' and possibly '_undefined' or something to make it stand out from the others.. I think the embedrel DOM attribute might still be useful, though it would return a string value based on the contents of the @role attribute. Take care, Rob
