Two more won't hurt. :) This has been discussed on the HTML5 WG list to death. - figure IS new - details IS new BUT over a few peoples dead bodies it seem, that we should add one or two new elements to make them work that would be: - intuitive and easy to teach - semantically clear and that would have: - zero technical problems - no added costs for browser makers to implement, since it would be done in conjunction with figure and details as such anyway Instead we have a "solution" that: - currently requires weird and fragile hacks - redefines the semantics of existing elements Just because adding elements is "evil". I actually do not know what argument that could sway peoples minds on this issue. It is beyond reason to me. I mean, it is not as if the dt/dd had been carefully discussed and researched BEFORE it entered the spec... Something I thought was a criterion for inclusion. -- Keryx Web (Lars Gunther) http://keryx.se/ http://twitter.com/itpastorn/ http://itpastorn.blogspot.com/
