RE: [WSG] looking for site-ot
As far as I can see, DL's are not deprecated, but they probably should be, as the vast majority of use cases are semantically incorrect. The one you describe included; surely a vCard or other microformat is more appropriate - the _definition_ of a particular company is a difficult concept to define, but I'm fairly sure its not their contact details!

Re: [WSG] looking for site-ot
As far as I can see, DL's are not deprecated, but they probably should be, as the vast majority of use cases are semantically incorrect. Maybe if you look at it very strictly, but they are OK with the spirit with at least HTML4.01. Specification provides example: Another application of DL, for example, is for marking up dialogues, with each DT naming a speaker, and each DD containing his or her words. I like this loose interpretation, DLs are great for pairing related items - like aforementioned speaker and his words or QA.

The problem is that it isn't clearly specified. The purpose of a definition list isn't actually defined beyond its name. I like this loose interpretation I tend towards following Postel's Law: Be conservative in what you do; be liberal in which you accept from others. Or, to apply it to this example: if you are writing HTML then assume a strict interpretation (it is for definitions only) and if you are writing a user agent then assume a loose interpretation (its for keys with any number of values). -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
