Hi Folks, Consider this XML: <location> <latitude>32.904237</latitude> <longitude>73.620290</longitude> <uncertainty units="meters">2</uncertainty> </location> It has quite a lot of semantics - it has information about a location; namely, the location is represented by a collection (no sequence implied) of values, one representing the latitude, one representing the longitude, and one representing the uncertainty of measurement. How would you represent this in (X)HTML, with all of the semantic richness retained? That is, can (X)HTML capture all of the semantic richness, albeit in a different form/markup? One possible solution is this: <h1>Location</h1> <ul> <li>Latitude: 32.904237</li> <li>Longitude: 73.620290</li> <li>Uncertainty: 2 meters</li> </ul> While this does seem to provide the same information as the above XML, I am a bit uneasy about it. Can you suggest a way of expressing the information in (X)HTML that retains the semantic richness of the XML? /Roger
