:You have to be able to write languages which qualify somethig quoted. : I must be able to write "<not><b>The sky is green</b></not>" :and send it to you without you holding me to :"<b>the sky is green</b>" Are you talking about being able to mention a thing as well as use it? so we can avoid mistakes like: 1: W3C is a consortium 2: W3C is three letters in length where the second statement is a nonsense one. In your example I (or more likely my processor) might *have* to hold you to <b>the sky is green</b> as being used rather than mentioned, because it isn't quoted (at least in markup). If <not><"><b>The sky is green</b></"></not> was sent, I, or my processor could then infer that <b>The sky is green</b> is being mentioned not used and the sender is off the hook. -Bill
