The design principle aims to combine those cases when possible and reasonable. When metadata is rendered to the user under the usual browsing conditions, errors in the metadata are more likely to be noticed and fixed. Metadata that is not rendered under the usual conditions often gets copied as part of a template and is wrong. > Similarly, multiple link elements in the head element are better > than turning each into a "human visible" anchor --- > this allows the browser to fetch the version best suited to the > user e.g. language variant, without having to show a large number > of "human visible" links at the top of the page that take you to > all the available language versions. Personally, I prefer to use my human judgment when choosing the language version. I value accuracy, comprehensiveness and timeliness over getting the content in my native language, so I try to pick the version that I believe to be most accurate, comprehensive or up-to- date depending on what I believe to be the source version from which the translations are made. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
