https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28736 Bug ID: 28736 Summary: Feature Request: Banner Title Element Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec Assignee: dave.null@w3.org Reporter: mark@manngo.net QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-admin@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org HTML5 adds more power to the heading elements, which is a good thing. However, there appears to be no recommended element for marking up a site-wide banner title. Traditionally, many users have resorted to using h1 for the banner heading, but this may not be in the spirit of headings which introduce sections. Furthermore, the banner title would be expected to be the same for most, if not all, pages, while the h1 would be expected to be different for each page. Other available elements already have their own semantic meanings, and none of them would imply a title. A header might be the appropriate place to put such a title, but, since headers are not sections, semantically they change nothing. I would like to suggest an element which has the same logic as h1, but specifically for banners titles. I have a preference for the tag name “title” since a body title should be clearly distinct from a head title, but accept that that may not be logistically reasonable. I would prefer not to call it “banner” since that might imply a larger container. However, anything would do for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
