Hi Rich, Yes, I just re-read your email, and realised what you were saying. Sorry about that. However, using an element in this way sounds just like the plain text equivalent of @role, which therefore means it would probably have wider applicability than just <action>. I wonder if we should look at trying to generalise this. Any thoughts on that?
