The br element: part of review of "Prose" section (currently 3.9) <http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/html5/spec/Overview.html? rev=1.78#the-hr Element-specific attributes ---------------------------------- Consider adding a @level (integer) attribute. This would provide a semantic hook in the document for styling languages. Sometimes a break may represent only a line break. Other times a break may be a column break, page break, section break, etc. By adding a @level attribute authors could use the particular levels to indicate how much of a break should occur. Normally, it would merely indicate a line brea. However, other break levels could indicate to start a new column, or start a new page. The @level attribute would provide a presentation independent way to express that semantically and provide a mechanism for presentation languages such as CSS to style the document appropriately.
