When function is specified, it is expressed using form. CSS is concerned with the form, HTML is concerned with the function. <h1> may trigger the appearance of large font sizes, which are visual style - but CSS lets you say "Use a larger font size" not "Be a top level heading". It might be reasonable to add something to CSS that causes spin buttons to be rendered, but setting bounds for a control is function, not form. > 2) keep HTML as purely semantic language. A potentially worthwhile goal, but making HTML purely semantic at the expense of stopping CSS being purely presentational would be one step forward and then another step back. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/ http://blog.dorward.me.uk/
