-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, since <quote/> and <blockquote/> as well as <code/> and <blockcode/> are counterpart for quotes or listings, I suggest to replace <address/> with <addr/> and <blockaddr/>. Reason: The current element <address/> is block. Sometimes, it's appropriate to use inline formatting for addresses: <p>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:webmaster@w3.org">webmaster@w3.org</a></p> Examples using the newly suggested elements: <p>E-Mail: <addr href="mailto:webmaster@w3.org">webmaster@w3.org</addr></p> <blockaddr> <l>ITCQIS GmbH</l> <l>Johanneskirchnerstr. 132</l> <l>D-81927 München</l> <l>Germany</l> </blockaddr> Reason for renaming <address/> to <blockaddr/>: To be consistent with the naming scheme already in use by <quote/> vs. <blockquote/> and <code/> vs. <blockcode/>. Reason for not naming it <address/> vs. <blockaddress/>: This would be a semantic change in <address/> which would be inline now but was block in previous versions. Why is it not possible to use the current definition of <address/> for this, it could be formatted as inline with CSS? The current definition of <address/> is block, and as such <address/> is only allowed in those elements whose content model includes the block set of elements. Changing the CSS display property does not involve changing anything about the content model of XHTML.
