Natural language could be indicated by a lang attribute, but what > indicates the type and size of linked resources? No, natural language of the linked resource is hinted by the hreflang attribute (the lang attribute says what language the link element's content and attributes use). Type is an attribute on some types of link, but you are unlikely to have size data without doing at least an HTML head request, pre-fetch, or some heuristic parsing of the document (all of these things are done from time to time by user agents). If you have done one of those, you should use the data. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile, Opera Software: Standards Group hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk chaals@opera.com Try Opera 9 now! http://opera.com
