What for? Please read Gregory J. Rosmaita's e-mail about it. I agree with him wholehartedly in that <blockquote> is so abused today and only differs from <q> (or a new <quote> element) on a presentational level, not at all on a semantic one. > Actually, I'd rather introduce <blockcode>, because that's really > missing. Let's get <blockspan>, <blockstrong>, <blockem>, <blockimg>, <blockins>, <blockdel>, <blockinput>, <blocklabel>, <blocksup>, <blocksub>, and <blockvar> as well, then. If <blockcode> and <blockquote> really are that semantically different from their inline cousins, then all of the other inline elements should have block-level equivalents as well, don't you agree? -- Asbjørn Ulsberg -=|=- asbjorn@ulsberg.no «He's a loathsome offensive brute, yet I can't look away»
