Re: Proposal for 1.5 success criteria

Hi Cynthia
Yes I like this, its really easy to understand which I
value.
One of the ways that I try and describe the separation
of the content and structure of a page from its
presentation, is 

separate
'what is being communicated' 
from 
'how it is communicated' 

Merry Christmas
