This is sort of a question and sort of a suggestion, depending. In printing, I believe it's common that, e.g., a comma is italicized if the word before the comma is italicized. Now, let's say I'm marking up a document in XML, and I have a 'movie' element for marking movies. I don't want to have '<movie>American Beauty,</movie>' because the comma isn't part of the movie's title. However, assuming I have a style sheet that renders all movies in italic type, what can I do to italicize the comma without introducing extraneous markup? I might just be nitpicking, but I think, if there's not a way to currently do something like this, there should be some thought about addressing the issue. Set me straight here, please, and do be gentle. -- John Anthony Lewis
