Same as <q>From where?</q> might be used to indicate a quote from a human. (Jukka in this case.) Does XHTML need entirely different elements to indicate what type of entity is being quoted? Should we also have: <pet-parrot-quote>Polly wants a cracker</pet-parrot-quote> <horse-quote>I'm Mr Ed</horse-quote> Or perhaps a general <talking-animal-quote> element is specific enough? <q> and <blockquote> ought to be enough to quote any source -- be it man, computer or talking beast. -- Toby Inkster <tobyink@goddamn.co.uk>
