(etc) Fine -- you have me here on details -- but they are still similar in the languages you noted; they are only one letter apart; and given that the tag "em" is short for the English word "emphasis" (and despite any phonetic wrangling you might provide is pronounced just like the letter m by every English speaker with whom I work) I still say this is a problem. Elements so similar in meaning should have unmistakably different tags to avoid confusion. Confusion on <em> is bad enough already. _____ David Walbert LEARN NC, UNC-Chapel Hill dwalbert at learnnc.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
