I grant you that as the HTML5 draft is written, class="copyright" is only for the entire document, so it could well be an id: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-global.html#class I'd say that's a flaw in the proposal though. > My rationale: Would be nice to one day have the universality, such as > would ever be possible, such that one could tack on #content, > #copyright, #navMain (or #nav), #webmaster, #contact et al(l) and, *if* > the website chooses to follow that standard, the user goes immediately > to those theoretically standard relative [blocks] on the webpage of a > thusly designed universal website.. That would indeed be fantastic. Especially skipping to main. In theory <link> and <a> can already sort of do this for copyright. Both the HTML5 draft and ARIA roles promise to expand their potential further. UA support is currently somewhat poor though. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
