Re: [XHTML2] can separator be used inside p?

aloha, tina!

perhaps i should have given more background -- the scenario is an
XHTML2-based document which reproduces a printed work as an XHTML2
document -- the "d:" in "d:pagenum" is a reference to a DAISY 
(http://www.daisy.org/) namespace, and the pagenum value allows one 
to navigate directly to the pagenum value and allows the user of an 
electronic version of a text to keep in sync with classmates who are 
using hard copies of the text -- whether through text-to-speech, 
highly-magnified on-screen content, or to emboss a copy of the book
that retains the pagination information with a braille embosser; in 
these scenarios, pagination isn't simply stylistic, but informative,
and, sometimes, necessary content...

i hope that helps contextualize my question, gregory.

to suppose he demonstrated the reality of human existence.  The 
dictum might be improved, however, thus: Cogito cogito ergo cogito 
sum -- "I think that I think, therefore I think that I am;" as close 
an approach to certainty as any philosopher has yet made.
