But if you wanted to style something that is not of a particular *semantic* class, you have to use a *stylistic* class. So class is doing double duty, although I suppose most people are using CLASS for style purposes. Also, I keep reading "HTML is for presentation" in at least one large company's web site :), so perhaps I should refocus the "Named Styles" suggestion toward the XML world. But first I suppose it should be asked, "*Should* there be a way to style portions of an XML document that has no semantic markup using CSS?" /Jelks
