Then the XHTML 2.0 Specification would have to explain why there is no

- "date" element
- "street", "city", etc. element or at least "address" in the meaning  
of physical address.
- "note" (aka footnote, margin note) element
- "toc" (table of content) element

I think what Patrick says and others on the list is

	- These semantics of meaning are useful
	- These should not be element but role/property attribute values.
