"class", "rel", and "profile" are the extension mechanism for HTML. For examples of how this is used to great effect, see the Microformats.org work, where entire vocabularies like vCard, iCalendar, etc, are embedded into HTML documents using "class" and "rel". (This has the added advantage of being a highly accessible extension mechanism, unlike most.) Cheers, -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
