Well, XHTML already has the object element, which allows for pretty much whatever alternative content you can dream up, including other object elements. An interesting alternative is the SVG approach, wich goes one further, providing for title and desc (description) elements as children of any g (group) - these can have content which is simple text, or which is rich and useful XML... The draft note accessibility features of SVG - http://www.w3.org/1999/09/SVG-access demonstrates some of this. cheers Charles McCN On Thu, 13 Jul 2000, S. Champ wrote: > "Benjamin J.
