All three of which are invisible and so do not match the use cases that Oli has outlined. At least @title has a tooltip but the @cite attribute has proven to be a complete disaster, unsupported by user agents and ignored by authors, precisely because it is *hidden* metadata. http://www.well.com/~doctorow/metacrap.htm So I think that we can learn from the history of the @cite attribute in that it shows us how *not* to do it. > But is it really possible to mark such citations up without presentational elements? I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean "presentational" as in "not conveying semantics" or "presentational" as in "visible"? Jeremy -- Jeremy Keith a d a c t i o http://adactio.com/
