I understand your dilemma, and am merely offereing the solution I have used (when I was in a position to make such a decision unilaterally). I don't think there is any particular problem with using class="id", but it would seem easier to avoid it lest there be any confusion. cheers charles On Wed, 2 Jun 1999, Chuck Letourneau wrote: Charles... Thanks for your comments. As chair of the WCAG I am extremely sensitive to the issue of strict compliance to W3C specs (and I support it in principle). However, I do not want to be responsible for a decision that will possibly exclude Netscape users from getting the most from the Curriculum. I leave that decision to the Chair and the WG as a whole. Pointing people to browsers that do the job properly is tricky (although I do make some backhanded attempt at it in the introductory slides). As for class="id" using an actual attribute as the value, I think I only used that in my explanation of the fix, and did not use it "in real life" anywhere in the curriculum. I will be careful to avoid it in future. Cheers! Chuck
