I do see an advantage to permitting the arbitrary styling of the BR element. Often a series of links shown inline are separated by a pipe (|) character. In the past I've produced this effect using border-right and other such malarky on the anchors or inline LIs with the same, but I think semantically the symbol does indeed represent a break between the links and that having the ability to style the break accordingly would be terrific. ?Kit On 05/08/2010, at 9:56 PM, Thomas Koetter wrote: > Andy wrote: >> Far greater semantic richness is obtained by using the ADR microformat > > Absolutely!
