Jay Bazuzi <jaybaz@microsoft.com> <SPAN CLASS="ACRONYM">HTML</SPAN> v. <ACRONYM>HTML</ACRONYM> |This is an interesting idea that has show up a couple times here lately. | To generalize your suggestion, what you seem to be proposing is that |the tag name becomes an attribute of some generic, non-meaningful tag. |Consider, for example, the following DTD snippet: | | <!ELEMENT TAG - - (#PCDATA | TAG)* > | <!ATTLIST TAG | ELEMNAME NAME #REQUIRED -- Element Name -- | > Absolutely not. I am suggesting that the <SPAN> tag, the one in http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MarkUp/Cougar/HTML.dtd be used for its intended purpose. The specially-marked-up content is still part of the general text flow and structurally belongs in the content model of whatever contains it. not locked up in an attribute. -marc --
