> >* Good practice: Separation of content, presentation, interaction >A specification SHOULD allow authors to separate content from both >presentation and interaction concerns. > >(Covered by Mostly Semantic Markup, currently disputed.) This design principle is one that I can live with, whereas "Mostly Semantic Markup" is not one that I can live with. I can support a design principle that calls for separation. This is the same principle that has been at play since the earliest days of markup -- GML, SGML, XML. This is one of the key design principles that led to the creation of markup. However, the phrase "Mostly Semantic Markup" is overloaded. After all, <b> has semantics and it facilitates for the separation of content and presentation. But I suspect that the proponents of "Mostly Semantic Markup" aren't saying that they want more <b>-like elements in HTML. How about we all agree to the Good practice that is codified in WEBARCH and forget about "Mostly Semantic Markup"? Regards, Murray
