And providing alternate suggestions, synonyms et cetera is too? Having some kind of "semantic sheets" would be cool I guess for these kind of things... I guess it looks like it would fit in CSS because the functionality is not strictly needed, but I'm unsure if it's really just presentation... -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
