Calling the attribute "html" > would be equivalent to calling the "title" attribute "string", or calling > the "start" attribute on <ol> "integer". Fair enough - but it's exactly the same problem that my first instinct made me react to doc: doc is a type to a lot of people. Maybe then @document would be better? (note that I am not overly concerned about this, but I assume many ppl will have a similar gut reaction to "doc" as I did). Regards, Silvia.
