Hello, During the WAI UA teleconf today, Daniel Dardailler and I came up with an appealing solution to the problem of labeling D-links so that UAs could identify them with some assurance of success. The (HTML) solution involves the "rel" attribute, which is defined for the A and LINK elements. The "rel" attribute (see section 6.12 "Link types" of [1]) describes the "type" of a link. The HTML specification gives a list of currently used values for this attribute (e.g., "stylesheet", "next", "index", etc.) and describes their intended meanings. The list given in [1] was designed to be extensible, and the WAI page authoring guidelines [2] seems like a great place to add the value "dlink" (or "description") - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH.html -- Ian Jacobs / 401 Second Ave. #19G / New York, NY 10010 USA Tel/Fax: (212) 684-1814 Email: jacobs@w3.org
