I think that you missed the point of my last message: the fact that a paragraph is the first one in a series *is structure*. There is no more need for it to be tagged specially. It is intrinsically special. > Hmm...that p:initial pseudo-class is starting to look better and better... Right. DSSSL already does this, of course, but most lesser stylesheet languages (other than CSS) allow it also. It is fairly basic. For instance the first list item is also often distinct. That's why no new tag is needed, and why you shouldn't really even have to use sub-classing. Paul Prescod
