It depends on what you are meaning by structure, what you mean by presentation, and what you mean by… meaning. :) That was the sense of my link earlier today to Robin Berjon. It's not a new topic. 10 years ago, I was musing more or less jokingly about it with http://www.la-grange.net/web/cow Maybe the question is not the right one. We often ask ourselves (myself first) how to preserve the idea of a semantics HTML. Maybe the question is the opposite one, how do we pull out the semantics of HTML so it's more flexible. The cow proposal was about that: Using CSS selectors to attach semantics to a node. And instead of waiting for the standardization of new formal elements for let's say poetry, etc. to make this association possible through an external mechanism. I think we are afraid of this way of thinking, because we are afraid that not many people will care enough about semantics. Fighting our own demons. -- Karl Dubost 🐄 http://www.la-grange.net/karl/
