If someone states that @itempropvalue is confusing, then he should provide an example where DATA element in the same situation is not confusing. Otherwise, appropriate discussion branch is pointless. The entire point of this branch of the discussion is that @itempropvalue allows for confusing situations that are literally impossible to get into with <data>. There is *no way* to encode Philip's examples with <data>, which is a good thing. Now, if you think one of the examples *should* be doable, please explain *what*, precisely, it should do. We can then tell you how it would be encoded with <data>. Right now, though, those examples are all fundamentally ambiguous, because that's the point we were making. ~TJ
