Short of telepathy, the definition that makes most sense will be the one the author was claiming to use. So your practical alternative of implementing only one is to arbitrarily misrepresent the intended meaning of documents, albeit in small ways (so far). I just don't think that's a good precedent to set. > > * XHTML2 and "XHTML5" have wildly different ways of indicating document > > structure with headings. > > How so? They're wildly different in that "XHTML5" uses numbered headings with sections but alters the implied importance of a heading with its nesting position, and reuses numbered headings as subtitles; XHTML uses <h> with <section> /or/ <h1> to <h6> in order. On the other they're incredibly similar in that both make my head hurt just thinking about them. ;) > XHTML5 also has a semantic class name "note" for this very purpose which > can be used on <aside>, <p> and <span>. What's the implied difference between <aside> and <aside class="note">? How might a UA treat them differently? -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
