So for example, to differentiate: > > <hgroup> > <h1>HTML Document Representation </h1> > <h2>Character sets, character encodings, and entities</h2> > </hgroup> > from: > <h1>Conformance: requirements and recommendations</h1> > <h2>Definitions</h2> This is of course as you say. If one wanted to get the same effect from using @abbr, then would have to create parsing rules which said that e.g. <h1>HTML Document Representation </h1> <h2 abbr='' >Character sets, character encodings, and entities</h2> is semantically identical to your first example. It might be simpler to just use <hgroup>. -- leif halvard silli
