The following prompts me to comment.. > > <I lang="it">Lega Nord<I> > Yes, clearly deprecated. ... it is a convention to display scientific names of organisms in Italic. Until styles are fully supported I have been considering something like following <i class=species>Achillea millefolium</i> which would give correct result on non-style browser. Using <em> would not be correct here, as I specifically want "italic", and not any emphasis! Thus, sometimes <i> and <b> are better suited for the applications than the logical <strong> and <em>. Can 'class' imply attributes? Might be nice if 'species' could imply lang=latin so that I wouldn't need to repeat that for each element? (e.g. language inherited from the class too?). Is this "a can of worms", to extend styles so that class could be used to add element attributes? -- Markku Savela (msa@hemuli.tte.vtt.fi), Technical Research Centre of Finland Multimedia Systems, P.O.Box 1203,FIN-02044 VTT,http://www.vtt.fi/tte/staff/msa/
