Interesting question on IG - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2001JanMar/0772.html Do we have ready-made comments on this, or is it an issue we should try to resolve as a working group?

Putting it another way ...</p><hr /><p>... is far stronger a change in meaning than ...</p><hr /><p>... Really the quote: 'Do not use ... horizontal rule "HR" for presentation purposes.' should be 'Do not use any HTML tags for presentation purposes'. There were some HTML tags with presentation purposes, but thankfully they're being phased out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gpg: Warning: using insecure memory! gpg: Signature made Wed Mar 7 12:14:39 2001 EST using DSA key ID F532BD18 gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found ----------------------------------------------------------------------
