Separator is a container or at least it should be. It just happens to contain ~~~ or * * * etc. So in my mind it's replaced content where the content it's replacing is very rarely specified - just like images. So if you want to make everybody happy (exaggeration I know), then make the model of separator <separator>Text</separator> Heck you could even use images and other block content. -- Orion Adrian
