The draft proposal for HTML 3.0 makes it clear that the class attribute is best used to subclass the structural meaning of the element, rather than simply for style bindings. This way the additional effort spent in writing the class attribute value can be used for a range of purposes, e.g. for restricting search, and to allow more flexible application of different style sheets. Good markup will be rewarded by greater flexibility and lasting value. -- Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> tel: +44 117 922 8046 fax: +44 117 922 8924 Hewlett Packard Laboratories, Filton Road, Bristol BS12 6QZ, United Kingdom
