You actually expect a UA to parse the English tag name "headline" and then conclude it is a header, and then make similar conclusions for all other valid XML tag names? This is because unambiguously parsing English and assigning meaning to English words is a solved problem right? Please do some homework on the state of AI and Natural Language Processing before making such ridiculous assertions. And never mind the fact that 90%+ folks in the world don't speak English. Add "i18n" reading to your homework as well. > especially when it comes to > accessibility. Previously in this thread you have said several provably false things regarding accessibility. If you wish to add value regarding accessibility, please add the following reading materials to your homework: http://www.w3.org/WAI/ http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10 http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG10 and the documents linked from: http://www.w3.org/WAI/Resources/ > If humans can recognize certain visual layouts as > headers, then I think we should teach our computers to recognize them > too. This is because computer vision is a solved problem right? Again, more AI reading would help here, as I don't think you understand where the state of the art is, nor how far it has to go. Tantek
