I can understand why they were passed onto XHTML 1, but now is the first real chance to remove old stuff as XHTML 2 doesn't have to be backward compatible. I will be using XHTML 2 as the base for a document standard in a specific field and the extensibility makes it easy to add my domain-specific markup (or use RDF with SKOS to express what I need). So I see no reason why XHTML 2 should conatin domain-specific markup at all. code and blockcode are also candidates for removal in my opinion. Regards, Peter
