HTML 4 is designed to work with CSS2. And CSS2 provides an example default style sheet for HTML that defines exactly what is a block (it can also be gleaned from teh DTD, although that's a slower process.) Essentially certain types of element are described as a block element (p, h1..hn, lists and a couple of others). In a working sense it is the innermost block that is relevant - the lowest node of the document tree that is a block, since those above it in the tree are broken up already.

Topics: 1. We've been talking about how long a block should be, but what is a block? Lets discuss some more, starting with Michael's proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-er-ig/2000Jun/0062.html (thanks Michael!) 2. How shall we track issues, including cross group issues? One possibility is to use W3C's ETA system. There was a section set up for WAI ER http://cgi.w3.org/ETA/issuesList.php3/wai/ER/ Although we haven't used it yet. Those of you who have tried it... please see what you think. If you want to try it out you can add yourself as a contact at http://cgi.w3.org/ETA/contacts.php3/wai/ER/?editing=1&nextAction=add (This requires member access to w3c). Len -- Leonard R.
