Actually more like <summary> Fair point: however the current spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/interactive-elements.html#the-details-element) states: "The details element represents a disclosure widget from which the user can obtain additional information or controls." (I note that the 'disclosure' method remains undefined, so different user-agents *could* expose the semantic in various ways - for example screen readers have little use for things 'popping up' on screen) "The summary element represents a summary, caption, or legend for the rest of the contents of the summary element's parent details element, if any." So if what we are after is an "expression" of the information (i.e. a tool-tip-like behavior) would that not be closer to a widget? JF
