There are just parallel news, of equal importance. Precisely. Article One and Article Two are of equal importance. I have given them both the same level of importance -- <h2/>.

There's no common topic (the document isn't about libertarianism per se, | or cases for or against it, but about a bivalent opinion about the thing; | at best, some futuristic display agent might show the thing as two | parallel columns without a common unifying topic, respecting the notion | that people can have more than one viewpoint on a single phenomenon). It's clearly about libertarianism. How can a page containing two things -- an argument for, and an argument against libertarianism claim to be anything but a page about libertarianism (couldn't you have chosen an easier word to type? The case for/against fish?). So the <h1/> should contain a heading for the entire page -- "Fish Debate" and the <h2/> elements mark out the beginning of each major section. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS | mailto:tobyink@goddamn.co.uk | pgp:0x6A2A7D39 aim:inka80 | icq:6622880 | yahoo:tobyink | jabber:tobyink@a-message.de http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/ | "You've got spam!" playing://(nothing)
