I was all ready to but out until this comment. HTML isn't being developed as a document language. It would be nice, but right now it seems like it's in limbo land. The HTML WG has been fairly good about this, but recently I've seen some disturbing changes again. Navigation list is an example of this. While HTML may not be the primary culprit of this change, it seriously doesn't seem like people are doing enough about it. I think the precursors to the problem are CSS and Javascript. I wonder why does a document need scripting? Why does a document need advanced layout properties? <snip /> -- Orion Adrian
