Well, a NAME element sounds like it may be used for it (and ambiguous naming and spec defining leads to tag abuse, no?). > 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? That feels like something much better. That way, you can talk about <cite type="person">Anne van Kesteren</cite>, <cite type="publication" (publication sounds a bit vague, maybe something along the lines of source?)>A Dao of Web Design</cite> and maybe better something such as <cite type="object">Titanic</cite>. This deserves some serious attention, cause well, ship is rather silly ;) -- Cheers, Rob. http://zooibaai.nl | http://digital-proof.org | http://chancecube.com
