Does anyone have an example of how DFN is used in a document? The same way as any other index/glossary-making markup. I used to use it a lot when it was supported by Mosaic (maybe it still is) to indicate the "first-usage" of technical terms, because it conveniently went into bold italic, and could be pulled out of a doc by a script to make an index. Now that CSS has become a reality I might start again... It's just another example of an enormously useful element being ignored because it only does a useful job, instead of flashing lights or sounding the klaxon. ///Peter
