I'd like to add that, with a little luck, a consquence of the fragement pseduo-class would be that authours may be more inclined to mark up logical sections of thier text. Example: ... <DIV ID="Sec-2.1"> <H2 ID="h-2.1">2.1 What is the World Wide Web?</h2> <p>The World Wide Web (Web) is a network of information resources. The Web relies on three mechanisms to make these resources readily available to the widest possible audience: ... <DIV ID="Sec-2.1.1"> <H3 ID="h-2.1.1">2.1.1 Introduction to URIs</H3> <p>Every resource available on the Web -- HTML document, image, video clip, program, etc. -- has an address that may be encoded by a Universal Resource Identifier, or "URI". ... </DIV> ... </DIV> (Text stolen from the HTML 4.0 specs) Now authours have a good reason to mark and link to ``Sec-2.1.1'' as opposed to just linking to the header ``h-2.1.1''. This may even eventually lead to ISO-HTML's Full Structuring. This is all a Good Thing. -- Russell O'Connor roconnor@uwaterloo.ca <URL:http://www.undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca/%7Eroconnor/> "And truth irreversibly destroys the meaning of its own message" -- Anindita Dutta, "The Paradox of Truth, the Truth of Entropy"Received on Thursday, 12 March 1998 15:09:51 GMT
