There is also an opposite thing: some browser vendors are not willing to implement features _until_ they are standardized. So we have a sort of closed circle here. I would also like to repeat a part of my previous comment [1]: > CSS wrappers would be much more flexible than hard-coded HTML wrappers in terms of ability to wrap _different_ elements e.g. depending on media queries. So virtual containers are far more than just a way to group DT/DD elements, instead they would be a _powerful layout mechanism_ absolutely unachievable with current HTML and CSS.
