The idea that someone should need to read this book (in its original language) and understand it, all in order to implement the <q> tag is absurd. And an author needs to do the same in CSS if they need to use a "grammar" that is not implemented by a browser vendor? All to leverage one tag? Justin, your two comments in a row are just absurd. First you complain because a book about french national typographical rules is not available from amazon.co.uk and therefore question the fact it's a reliable source, then you complain the source is too long. Just so you know, a previous edition of this book was already a major source when we added quotes management to CSS 2. Next time I'll be interested in using one single HTML5 element in a compound xul+html document and discover the HTML5 spec is several hundred pages long and not directly available from amazon.fr, I'll file a bug for you... </Daniel> -- W3C CSS WG, Co-Chair
