Mostly by creating documents in DIV-soup: with almost only DIVs and SPANs and using the class name to (attempt to) convey semantics. It's not always entirely avoidable in XHTML due to its limited semantics but it's not rare to see <div class='address'> where <addr> would've worked. -- Robin Berjon Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/
