Hello again, philip, dear list members, > -----Original Message----- > "semantically pure" or not, this is a strong need, > that has been begging to be fixed since HTML2.0 6 years ago. well, there's a difference between a line break and a page break. A line break is needed to physically tear apart the logical parts of an address without logically markup specific to the parts of an address, like the following: <address> Mr. First M. Last<br /> Somedrive Boulevard 12<br /> GB-Y723ZP Lonetown<br /> United Kingdom </address> <h1> alread tears apart logical parts of a document, so there is no need for it. <br clear="all" /> doesn't exist in XHTML 1.1 and XHTML 1.0 Basic anymore. It's too layout specific. There are three kinds of markup: - logical (always okay) - presentational (needs to be reconsidered) - layout (not okay, especially if media dependant, task of CSS) h1 for example is somewhere between logical and presentational. It's not purely logical because it doesn't say wether it's the heading of a chapter, a section, a subsection or just this page. > Speaking of fixing, what is the official proceedure for getting the > standard amended?
