Forgive my ignorance: but isn't this entire issue a moot point anyway and be better left to discussion in the CSS circles? having the class attribute is really as far as HTML needs to go, at that point the CSS engine does what it will with the rules defined in the stylesheet. So if the CSS engine defines defaults for class names that is wonderful but not really a task left up for the HTML folks. -C On 5/17/07, Jack Sleight <jack.sleight@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > and/or the author may have trusted our promise that class names are > > not supposed to mean anything > Ah yes, well that is exactly why I have concerns about the inclusion of > pre-defined class names at all. > > Gervase Markham wrote: > > Jack Sleight wrote: > >> Ending underscores are fine, but do we really need a prefix or suffix > >> at all?
