I agree that they mix presentation and structure, but I also feel that it is worthwhile to capture some common situations. That is, allow people to define link "roles", but start out with a few standard roles. This is analogous to including xml:lang in the XML spec. I'm concerned about XML being less useful than HTML because of a lack of common elements (conventions). For example, an XML author has no way to reliably give a web spider a title, description, or robot hints (follow/nofollow, index/noindex). Also, link roles could be meaningful to an indexing program -- transcluded text should be indexed with the source doc, <a>-linked text shouldn't. I'm hunting down a copy of the PCTE rationale, since it has a nice description of the link roles in PCTE, and how they got to that design. Meanwhile, maybe I should write a NOTE proposing a PI analogous to the robots meta tag (<?robots index="yes" follow="no"?>). wunder -- Walter R. Underwood wunder@i... wunder@b...
