I'm not against new CSS properties to display things as tooltips, but I'd rather see that confined to custom stylesheets. And reusing <label>, or even introducing a new element, to override attributes (especially arbitrary attributes) seems cumbersome to me... how do you represent that in the DOM? It is also my opinion that the title attribute, whether it allows rich markup or not, is not the right place for a caption. I'm certainly not going to use it if browsers hide captions in tooltips in their default stylesheets. The default stylesheet needs to be a reasonable fallback, and an image caption must be visible while glancing at the page. Michel Fortin michel.fortin at michelf.com http://www.michelf.com/
