I tend to agree. Still, there are cases where this breach is generally accepted, e.g. `display: none` hides content not only visually, but also semantically. However, I think there is still a distinction between "new" semantics (e.g. rich JavaScript widgets) and "variations" of existing semantics (e.g. different color schemes on buttons to convey non-essential information like importance or context). tobias
