Well, using class to provide semantics certainly is: the semantics should be hard wired into the document, and then accentuated and made more accessible by style (CSS). > It doesn't seem quite as useful to the user to have each instance > marked as such explicitly, but rather for there to be some sort > of indication of "meaning available" (e.g., implemented through > tooltips or a reference of sorts). That is very true, but in the future, RDF will provide us with a method of annotating practically everything. Then, we might be able to interact with all of the content and elements in a document. Here's hoping... CSS2 isn't widely supported anyway yet, so most browsers won't render it afterwards. Using title is good enough for now (it has to be!). Kindest Regards, Sean B.
