> I've always hated how many of the HTML elements had such short element > names, such as p, b, i, tr, td, th, br (etc...) I beg to differ, but -- why? Using WYSIWYG editors (bah) this should be irrelevant for you, writing your own source this should be easier for you. Only a theorician IMO tends to imply problems in cases where no real problems exist. YMMV. > It would be cool if they were a bit longer, such as <paragraph/> > <bold/> <italic/> <cell/> (For <table/>) (etc...) For presentation there are CSS (so use them instead of <b /> or <i />), so your approach matches on table elements, paragraphs etc. -- In my opinion, the current usage und naming of elements (in nearly every case) is good, and using acronyms instead of words only seems reasonable for me.
