Hi. I think we'll have to agree to differ on most of the points. I can only express personally that for myself I want formatting semantics for formatting, and not HTML. On your surmation of vocabulary I would prefer to reframe it thus... GUY Data Semantics (XML) -> Format Semantics (XSL) -> Rendering OR Data Semantics (XML) -> Presentation Semantics (XML+CSS/Other Renderable ML) -> Rendering HAKON Semantics (XML) -> Confined Presentation/Document-centric Semantics (HTML) -> Rendering. Hakon, you are more than welcome to utilise your model. Nothing at the moment prohibits you from doing so, but you'll have to excuse me if I find my model more flexible both in terms of user agent presentation, and in terms of domain appropriate semantics whether they be formatting OR presentation. The point of issue between us seems to be that you believe that HTML is sufficient, while I maintain that HTML is wholy insufficient for the needs of Web applications over the next decade both functionaly and in terms of data model/semantics. Semantics appropriate to the domain concerned I believe is the way forward.
