But a separator in this form is semantically vague, because you have to guess what it actually separates. I know from experience when building scrapers to generate rss form html. It's very easy if each item is in its own container, than when they are only separated by a separator. In particular it's hard to see where the first item starts, and where the last item ends. -- Sjoerd Visscher http://w3future.com/weblog/
