You make some good points about list elements. The question is more of, where do you draw conformity?

Another good rationale for granting TH elements the href property is column sorting. Could reduce and simplify JS required for implementing that type of functionality.

A case where you might want to link a PRE is when it contains a poem where the format is important (for example the text make the shape of an arrow). If you have an index of poems where the first few lines of each is shown, then you would put them in a PRE and link it to the full poem.

If we're going down this route, I would like to see href attributes for dt and dd elements. Examples - you could have the dt link to an audio file to give the pronunciation - you could have pages about each term defined and want to link to them from the dt - seconding Wolfgang's comment 18 where you would link from the dd where it references name-value pairs.

Hi.

I apologise for the off-topic comment, but you’ve closed comments on the next one and I just wanted to say as a long-term reader, father of one and expecting another, congratulations on Version 2.1

ALso, are you aware that the excuse generated that day was “The breakup of the American family”? Gave me a giggle.

If I’m not mistaken the “href everywhere” concept will be included in XHTML 2.0. For me that is a big argument for XHTML 2.0 over HTML 5 (as it currently stands and as I currently understand them). I won’t pretend to understand either format entirely as I was only exposed to HTML 5 & XHTML 2.0 yesterday or maybe the day before as web design is only a small portion of my job responsibilities. I’m not trying to start a comparison (or flame) war over the two specs, just stating that I really like the concept (then there does not appear to be much difference between the nav tag and the nl tag either).

I think XHTML 2.0 also has “src everywhere” or something to that affect that seems like a nice attribute. Again IMHO being not completely up to speed on either or both specs.

Brian: sorry about that; Akismet was apparently being more hyper than usual, as there were a couple of other comments by people other than you that suffered the same fate right around the same time. I did eventually see your e-mail and fished out the comments, so at least the "you've been spam-canned" warning plugin did its job. (Before I asked for help creating that plugin, there was no notice at all that one had been canned!)

actually, according to the draft, dt and corresponding dd in a dl are simply

Name-value groups

and

may be terms and definitions, metadata topics and values, or any other groups of name-value data.

and not strictly definitions. seen that way, even the proposed menu seems valid. when dt and dl sit in a dialog, even more use-cases come to mind, like linking to sound-files or again linking to personal pages (this is a dt use-case!).

here is a better use-case for dd, directly from the whatwg-draft (scroll down a bit):

Authors
John
Luke
Editor
Frank

one might want to link to the personal pages of those individuals.

You are right, Hein, that example was probably not the best. But does this invalidate my question? is dl only correct in cases, where dd is THE definite definition of dt so that it can't be desireable to link to further sources, references, backstories or whatever? would't that be very limiting? do such definitions even exist? and why would then several dd to one dt be allowed?

Eric, I’ve lost two comments due to the filter. What am I doing wrong?

Could the preview button maybe one one if a comment will be marked as spam or not?

What the heck. My post just explained a use case explaining how there can be multiple t-body * elements and it got marked as spam? It didn’t have any HTML elements in it, nor linked to anything, nor contained any common spam phrases. What’s the deal?

* hoping to avoid the filter!
