Hi Jukka, While I understand your argument, I think that in the majority of cases it is neither practical nor necessary. And it is not something that should or needs to be defined in the HTML spec. It is unfortunate that there is no guidance for the quoting of online sources that covers this issue. I am surprised there is not, as I would think these days the quoting/citing of online sources is common place in academia. -- Regards SteveF HTML 5.1 <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/> On 10 September 2013 07:59, Jukka K.
