Which (X)HTML elements *in use today* would unambiguously provide that 
programmatic determination? (Do not respond that WCAG2 must be 
technology-neutral; if you can't make a guideline work today, your

Guidelines requiring definitions must be eliminated. They aren't the 
author's responsibility. You got a problem with a word, *you* look it up.
