Dear Working Group (and list members), I sometimes wonder about two special HTML issues anyway: * In general, why ain't it allowed to include markup within the "title" element [1], what's the historical background? Aren't at least abbreviations a perfect example for the usefulness of semantics here? And since I could theoretically even show the "title" element ("title { display: block; }") on the page, doesn't this even require the possibility to include other elements as well? * Also in general, why is there no way to designate rather "unimportant" text? I can use "em" and "strong" for emphasis, but what about text that is rather unimportant, because unrelated, for example? The "span" element does not do this, so what about a kind of "minor" element? From an usability pov, this is a "questionable" approach, and it surely (and hopefully) is a rare case, but why hasn't this been addressed anyway? Looking forward to clarification and discussion.
