It seems to me that > it has any strong semantic meaning. "side comments such as small > print", doesn't mean much to me If we want to tighten up the definition of <small> and exclude its use for subheadings, I suggest tightening up the wording: at the moment, the useful definition of <small> is in a note, which is therefore non-normative. How about making the definition "The small element represents legalese (often colloquially called "small print") such as disclaimers, caveats, legal restrictions, copyrights, attribution, or for satisfying licensing requirements." And make the first note say "It is not appropriate for representing sub-headers or sublines". Bruce Lawson Open standards evangelist Developer Relations Team Opera http://dev.opera.com
