| >Dare I propose an esthetic rule that child elements should (if possible) have comparable weight, and the weight is obviously rather uncoupled from the number of value items. Can you quantify what you mean by “weight”? Do I read you as saying that you don’t like <section> <head>..</head> <para>..</para> <para>..</para> <para>..</para> </section> and would prefer <section> <head>..</head> <body> <para>..</para> <para>..</para> <para>..</para> </body> </section> Personally, I’ve found it impossible to come up with a general rule on this. I rely on instinct. In the above example the wrapper seems to serve no conceivable purpose. Michael Kay Saxonica |
