This should ultimately be up to the editor; I should point out however that the CSS Working Group received over a dozen complaints about the HTML-but-not-XHTML examples in the CSS specifications, similarily, the use of such markup in reports generated by the CSS Validator generated many dozens of complaints in the past few years. That alone would be a good enough reason to avoid them as far as I am concerned. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
