Well, it would just be for people, vehicles (ships), that kind of thing. I wasn't imagining that people would want to use it for technologies. Would it make sense to allow it for books? I don't know. Maybe the <cite> element needs a "type" attribute that takes values like "person", "ship", "publication"? What other names do people want to mark up? (There clearly is a semantic difference between marking up the name of a person and the name of a ship. There's a presentational difference, too; ship names are usually italicised, for instance.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
