The concept of joint blocks (which should rather be named disjoint canvas)
is relevant mainly to printouts. As it has already been explained in the
booklet case, HTML is not the primary workhorse for preparing professional
printouts. Window content is stretchable, unlike a print sheet, therefore

Something I think is really missing from HTML is "linked text"
Linked or continued (numbered, ordered) lists have been dicussed here
a while ago, and were rejected if I remember correctly. They made a
stronger use case than generic continued texts in my opinion,
although both co
Ignore my last statement. It was a draft I wrote before reading Ian's
response. If he has something in mind to get the same thing accomplished
without adding extra tags, all the better.

I would be happy to have this as a purely css solution, but if multiple
container elements are required for the content to flow to, would you not
want that relationship in the html? We specify anchors, links, and
relationships in html, why not this? How the flow between blocks should

For what it's worth, Shannon, I totally agree with you. Not only is this
something I have been wanted for a long time, but I think it belongs in the
html. It's one thing if you just want columns, which is being covered here:

I agree this is _mostly_ a CSS issue except that there is semantic
meaning to the join attribute beyond layout. The attribute could serve
as a guide to search engines, web-scrapers or WYSIWYG applications that
two areas of the page should be considered a single piece of content. I
