I am made to examine relationships relating to semantics/structure/presentation/content/accessibility/"eDaption"/Kynn/Sean/time-binding and lots of other stuff. It *does* matter that such things as <b> and <strong> purposes and interrelationships get into the flow/mix/deliberations/conversations. Without such "real world" (however "minor") entities being used to reveal the truths being constantly re-discovered by those of us standing on the shoulders of our predecessors the time-binding that makes us human and not "supernatural animals" wouldn't occur. We use symbols/language, etc. to move us to new levels of understanding, starting new enterprises, enabling inclusion at a rate never before even conceptualized. The Berners-Lees, Connollys, Brickleys, etc. aren't saints, they (and we) are practitioners of sanity in a world that is frequently un-sane. And a happy Thanksgiving to you, too! -- Love. ACCESSIBILITY IS RIGHT - NOT PRIVILEGE
