This is _your_ problem and not trying to solve it means causing trouble for co-workers (or for your readers). Whenever you think an element is missing use <phrase> or create a cstomization. Misusing an existing element is the worst you can do (it undermines the idea of sementic markup). -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
