[whatwg] Editorial: dfn s/term given by the contents/term/

2006-12-01 Thread Simon Pieters

Hi,

The dfn element:

  The dfn element represents the defining instance of a term.
  The paragraph, definition list group, or section that contains
  the dfn element contains the definition for the term given
  by the contents of the dfn element.

Given the definition of defining term two paragraphs later, the term of 
the dfn element is not always the contents of the element. I suggest 
replacing the above text with:


  The dfn element represents the defining instance of a term.
  The paragraph, definition list group, or section that contains
  the dfn element contains the definition for the _term_ of
  the dfn element.

Regards,
Simon Pieters

I'd just strike the contents.

  definition for the term given by the dfn element.
