Which is why the *default* stylesheet can suggest some places it might be shown, but authors should not make any assumptions about where it will turn up. Just as the 2nd chapter of a book isn't titled "<name of book> : <title>", the page should not be either. > From your standpoint, then, TITLE is the first level heading and H1 the > second level one.

Since I almost always have the same or similar content in TITLE and H1 I'd prefer if the default was normalised. (And if you don't like the default you can override it -- just like the rest of the default style.) ~ Jared Warren Computing Science, Queen's UniversityReceived on Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:42:17 GMT
