> What would the process be for making such a change?
Sign up to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. But a word of warning, be ready to have your idea ripped to shreds. Don't be dishearted by this process, every idea is ripped to shreds on that list - the good ones come through the other end and are included in the spec. Its kind of a litmus test I guess. Read the spec & understand it. Read the up coming XHTML specs too (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-list.html#s_listmodule) & make sure that your issue hasn't already been fixed. Search the list archive (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/) and make sure you've read all related discussions (see list below). Get all your ducks in a row and have all your arguments ready - then post your suggestion. > Consider this: you want to put a border around all your > individual terms, some of which might have multiple > definitions.

This argument will not hold any water on this list - borders are a presentational issue. The HTML people make a point of refusing to consider anything remotely presentational. I can see your point but you're going to have to express it in a sense that is relevant to semantic mark up or take it to the CSS list. What is the point of the <dl> tag? I think you are looking for something that will perform a similar function - how can you express that without talking about borders? I seriously think one of the best ways to get a real solid grip on HTML & CSS is to sign up to the W3C lists and just read the conversations that take place there. But please, think very carefully before posting to these lists, the list members take a pretty dim view of poorly thought out or off topic posts, "how to" questions are also frowned on. They will make sure you get this message if you stray away from what they aiming for. Nice people - its just that they take their work very seriously.
