I'll assume fltcap is no longer a live proposal. [... snip ...] > > Therefore, I support C. My own preference would be either (C) or (D). I don't feel strongly either way on the body elements. I am ok with the alternate names in (C) as well (<figcaption> instead of <flabel> and <dsummary> or <summary> instead of <dlabel>). I don't like (A) much because the name seems to strike people as odd and confusing. I don't like (B) because using an attribute for something like this is weird, and also it does not address <details>. Regards, Maciej
