Thus potentially causing a problem for authors who are not markup language savvy. --wendy At 09:59 AM 4/22/99 , you wrote: >WC:: "...place-holding elements that are not defined anywhere fit into >the picture?" > >WL: Although this is an important point it is difficult to imagine it >being addressed in an authoring tool, it's sort of like the illegitimate >ALT="text" problem in that the tool that could recognize that "insert >description here" is different from "picture of my dog, Shea" would make >us all obsolete.
