What practical use has this for Mr Joe Public? Give me a really useful example in very simple wording!

Personally, I like the semantics of href on any element. "This element is a link" seems cleaner than "Here is a link element that surrounds some other element or text content". Assuming no one does find a backwards-compatible way to link any element, I'd prefer going forwards with href applying to everything. (Note that I haven't thought about it much, though, and I do have a vague hazy memory of not liking something about the way XHTML 2 is doing it. I would definitely want more thought put into it than I have.) -- dolphinling <http://dolphinling.net/> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
