In the former case, what the actual tags are called is completely irrelevant, a point well made by the original poster. From the viewpoint of storage and memory consumption, parsing speed and we who actually maintain sites in a vanilla text editor, shorter is better. Shorter tags are a pure win. -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - mailto:decoy@iki.fi, tel:+358-50-5756111 student/math+cs/helsinki university, http://www.iki.fi/~decoy/front openpgp: 050985C2/025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2
