I understand. The popup example is given because it is clearly a semantic for a control, and in the grand tradition of genCoding, when GUIing, GUI. I too think hyperlinking is a control type (how many times have we had this discussion now??) whereas, a relationship is just pointing by some reference type (and that is where the trouble starts, nameloc, relloc, treeloc anyone?). Otherwise, this thread comes close to resurrecting archForms in RDF syntax. As I said earlier to Liam, I don't think we take the leap because the benefits (among, device independence of content) are hard to sell without veryProminentRunningCode. len From: DuCharme, Bob (LNG-CHO) [mailto:bob.ducharme@l...] Len Bullard wrote: >So you want to go from this ><myElement oncontextmenu="doPopup(); return false;">Something</myelement> > (snip) >to > (some CSS) > > ><popup class="mylinktype" > > <item>MyItem</item> > <item>MyItem</item> ></popup> >or something similar? I wouldn't even want to store it as a "popup" element. Pop-ups are device specific; many devices can't do it. Here's a more semantic example inspired by RFCs. Imagine that internally the IETF stores this: <obsoletes> <rfc num="1111"/> <!-- or however they choose to reference another RFC --> <rfc num="2222"/> <rfc num="3333"/> </obsoletes> Then, they convert it to something like what you showed originally with one stylesheet for web delivery, a sidebar with background shading for print delivery with another stylesheet, etc.
