Punctuation is presentation, unless it is content. HTML says it should be content, so defining<q> to do it makes little sense to me. > I agree. Well, we are all agree to say that the <q> tag describes a quotation. In this way, it is very usefull. The problem is with the quote style. Maybe the “best” way to work is that UA do not print quotes (with :after or :before classes, and content property), and only user overwrites this property with his own CSS. Or a secondary solution is that user writes quotes himself in the content and let the CSS to default (i.e. no quotes are printed). This is not a HTML problem but a CSS problem I think (or content problem). Regards. -- Ivan Enderlin Developper of Hoa Framework http://hoa-project.net/
