An EMAIL (or URI) element is certainly as useful as VAR or KBD, and would allow authors to mark up an address regardless of whether it's 'linked'. Besides, if HREF is to be a common attribute, wrapping an email address in <a> tags just to create a link is no more valid than using <span href="mailto:foo@example.com">. -- kevin c smith http://www.tatnet.com
