Hi Laura, > The danger is *replacing* the attribute with a new element is that it > can harm the user group the attribute was trying to help. > > A new element could possibly be considered in *addition* to retaining > the attribute. But that would be a different change proposal. Maybe I missed something, but that it so some degree what I thought was going on. I am in favour of keeping @summary as a valid attribute but also adding a /better/ element. For me, this would be a win-win. @summary is still legal but the markup provides a way to serve other user groups, has great semantic ability yada yada Cheers Josh
