Re: deprecated tags in Wilbur & Cougar -Reply -Reply

But I thought the reason for CLASS sets in the first place was
to specify *special*, author-defined instances of content that 
aren't separate elements.

If you are going to standardize a class as a specific content type 
I don't see why you shouldn't just make it an element.  It would be easier 
for the author writing the document; perhaps it would be easier 
on the parsers as well.

I think that maybe <link> relations should be standardized, but 
not classes.
