A: There is no argument against _ as a prefix, if it's deemed a valid alternative, but I had heard further proposals for h5_ as a prefix or html5_ as a prefix which motivated me to propose this as a cleaner alternative if the prefixes had to be that long to begin with. I'm perfectly fine and happy with _ as a prefix, just not longer prefixes and in relation to the other arguments (class= vs role=, cowpath=, etc.) Updated: http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/ProposalChainedClassnames Best, CharlesReceived on Monday, 14 May 2007 18:22:57 GMT
