A good guess might > be to simply assume the syntax is the same as for the EM tag. So are we assuming full DTD parsing is mandatory for all HTML+ clients of 3.0+? If so, you are getting quite bogged down in SGML and to think that the rebndering will be defined by simply the EM attributes is simpliistic. To reall describe the rendering, you have to cope with "Rendered as a margin note within the larger of the left and right margins, which should be extended for the whole section to at least 2.5 cm if neecessary; boxed (grey 1mm bezelled) with a little icon for a man at work on the bottom corner, this paragraph should have the same formatting as would have been applied to a BLOCKQUOTE paragraph within one extra level of UL nesting than where this element appears" I exagerate but I have found style sheets need more power, and it seems RENDER should hook into style sheet langauge.
