The GROUP element would not under any circumstance affect the layout of the page, and would not be able to have style or CSS applied to it. Why? For use in Widgets produced by a server side CMS the contents of the Widgets could then be updated asynchronously, I'm sure there are other applications. Why not use a DIV? A DIV in it's normal form is a block level element that affects the layout of the page, so we need to set "display:inline" to achieve the desired result if it is the parent of other inline elements, and hope that it doesn't get selected by any CSS selectors and have it's style influenced. Thanks for any consideration this request may receive.
