It certainly doesn’t convey meaning and it never will. HTML is the standard that browsers (including non-CSS-capable), search engines, use. If you want to write your documents in some XML-based custom language, fine, but then let the server transform it so that it ends up as HTML. Otherwise it will not be accessible. You can add your own elements to HTML by means of the class attribute. What you’re suggesting is another layer. It seems you’re talking about RDF and ontologies. For more info about that, see: - http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/ - http://www.w3.org/RDF/ Anyways, I’d say www-html or www-rdf-interest-request is a much more suitable place for this discussion. It has very little to do with CSS. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san! Kimi wa doushite, Ushiko-san!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Laurens Holst, student, university of Utrecht, the Netherlands.
