Shouldn't <CITE>, <Q>, and <BLOCKQUOTE> have an ATTRIBution associated with them? Something like: <q>Any sufficiently advanced cluelessness is indistinguishable from humour.<attrib>Francois Souchay<br>news.admin.policy</attrib></q> Which would render something like: "Any sufficiently advanced cluelessness is indistinguishable from humour." -- Francois Souchay news.admin.policy I think <attrib> is an important content markup that would be especially useful to indexing robots. Not to mention indexing Usenet itself, which brings up the question of nested quotes and attributions. Could it be allowable to have nested quotations? <q><q><q><attrib>andy@intel.com wrote:</attrib> <attrib>bill@microsoft.com replied:</attrib> <attrib>joe@user.net said:</attrib> Is not!</q> Is too!</q> You are both idiots!</q> Applying style sheets to this could make it render like it does in a newsreader, or something else could be done with it. There are a myriad of attribution styles, though... footnotes, margin notes, etc, etc. -- %%%%%% mikebat@clark.net %%%%%% http://www.clark.net/pub/mikebat/www/ %%%%%%
