You should probably be informed that this proposal has been made and discussed many times on the list before. That is not to say that you can't bring it up again, but you need to be aware of, and address, the objections which have already been raised. If you can make a compelling argument which deals effectively with those responses to previous suggestions, then who knows? You may get what you wanted. You should view the archives for this list on the W3C's web site, though, before proceeding. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Author, CSS in 24 Hours http://cssin24hours.com Online Campaign Manager http://ByronForCongress.org Inland Anti-Empire Web Log http://inlandantiempire.org AIM: NextOfKynn | Cell: (909) 202-9872 | Office: (714) 526-5656
