Exactly, hence the need for something along the lines of my proposed <MORE> element. >> BTW - going with what someone was saying about the use >> of <I></I> to indicate a special term, why not have a >> <TERM> element.

Because I couldn't think of something which <I> could stand for! <GRIN>. That would be the best solution, effectively retro-fitting old browsers with 'improved' functionality and getting around the problem of a new element not being immediately taken up.
