I guess this is better suited here.

Hi,

I would like to forward some questions presented by our look-and-feel group
regarding the support of the WSRP defined CSS classes, maybe you have
already tackled these questions before…

Thanks,

Avi.

      Basically, I have the following questions for the technical
      committee:
            1)     There are no particular classes for anchor tags. How
            will they be rendered?
            - Can they carry any of the classes defined in the spec?
            - Do we have to format the anchor directly, by formatting the
            ‘a’ tag?
            - Do they have to be placed in a container that carries any of
            the classes defined in the spec?
            2)     Is there any possibility to know where WSRP classes are
            used in the HTML. For example, a class like
            portlet-section-body, can it also be used in the body tag? Or
            can it only be used in any HTML element that is regarded as a
            body object or container in the eyes of the content provider?
            Or does it depend on whether the HTML element is a span or a
            div, as discribted in the spec?
            3)     This question goes together with the previous somehow.
            The description of what the classes are to render is vague
            sometimes. The styles “portlet-font” and “portlet-section-body”
            are described as “normal text”. Sections are defined as mark up
            sections, like divs and spans. On the other hand, the example
            showing how to use the class “portlet-font” shows a div
            carrying the class “portlet-font”. Is it possible to give us a
            more elaborated specification? And is it possible to explain a
            section from a semantic perspective? Is every span a section?
            4)     Each section class renders the font of a particular
            section part. The parts, on the other hand, can be nested into
            each other. If doing so, particular attributes, like relative
            font sizes, can be inherited. Is there a way to avoid this?
