Given that browsers are already implementing a more complex vector graphics language (SVG), there would need to be a compelling argument for adding another one, such as that it would be easier to use and cover a significant portion of the use cases. I'm skeptical here that it would cover a significant portion of the use cases, at least not without becoming just as complex as SVG, given that authors tend to be quite picky about visual details. > http://html60.euro.ru/site/html60/en/author/label_eng.htm As someone else pointed out, this looks an awful lot like XPointer, or some subset of it, and there's already a much more precise specification for that. Would it make more sense to define a way of using XPointer or some subset of it in named anchors in the text/html MIME type, rather than inventing yet another language that does the same thing? -David -- L.
