And br is not sufficient to markup prose lines as explained in the wiki ;o) Currently you need divs, because the old and nasty dl+dt/dd solution from HTML4 is excluded in HTML5 as well (was is finally not a bad decision for dl/dt/dd themselves). Or maybe you can use section+div, section for the strophe/stanza, div for a line. And a section around the poem. In this case only the poem, to separate it properly from the image/prose and to be able to apply information about the author to all three parts of the construction independently. Then one could put another section around it to indicate that the heading applies to all of them - something like this would be all you can press out of the current drafts. Then you can add RDFa (or some role-mechanism) to indicate which part contains poetry, information about an author and which author is related to which part of the construction. Olaf
