In my humble opinion, it seems like the use of h1-h6 headers is much easier for an author to wrap their head around then deriving structure of the a section & header combination. With the H1-H6 headers, it's easer for a human to read the code and infer what the structure of the document is. It's much harder to read through nested section elements. That and practically I could see the section tag being abused just as much as the div tag. I don't understand what we get by adding it. - justin ****************** Justin Thorp US Library of Congress Web Services - Office of Strategic Initiatives e - juth@loc.gov p - 202/707-9541 >>> Joshue O Connor <joshue.oconnor@cfit.ie> 11/28/2007 9:33:41 AM >>> Ben Boyle wrote: >> > However my worry about using generic elements is exactly that the >> > inferred structure or the ability to infer structure could be lost.

Which has precedence? Thanks for the comment Ben, and your interesting question. Answers on a postcard please. Cheers JoshReceived on Wednesday, 28 November 2007 16:51:05 UTC
