It says: "the enclosed bit is in another voice - render as appropriate". It should replace <blockquote> now that CSS lets you say whether an element should be rendered block or inline. Or is that the idea? Get rid of <b> and <align>, as well? In typesetting, the decision whether to render a quotation block or inline usually has something to do with length - number of lines. Without knowing how lines might break in a given instance, authors can't confidently tag a quotation "block". Nor can they style the element appropriately without scripting to work out the parameters. ________________________________________ Todd Fahrner mailto:fahrner@pobox.com http://www.verso.com/ The printed page transcends space and time.
