It would also be possible to use it for plain titles of works, like <cite>Wikipedia</cite>, or authors like <cite>SteveF</cite>. > Where *** prefixed elements could be some newly added HTML elements or > more likely spans augmented with RDFa/Microdata.

Alternatively, things like RDFa/µdata/data-* attributes let you pile in more stuff... cheers Chaals > Jirka > -- Charles McCathie Nevile - Consultant (web standards) CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru Find more at http://yandex.com
