pretty much... she's not in the linear chain...

gotcha... again, doesn't mean you *shouldn't* use h# to impart
structure, does it?

good to know...

i still think there's some dangling questions, though...
like the document > body > h1 nature of HTML... or the hierarchy
implied by different levels of importance as laid out in the specs...
ok, they're my questions, and you dodged 'em, but i can accept
that because:
in the end, both ways are viable... i use HTML to impart structure,
so i intend to use it to its fullest... the only arguments i hear
against imparting this structure are strictly stylistic, except for the
desire to impart 2D structure in a linear model...
IOW, do what you want, folks, neither rudy nor i is a final arbiter on
the proper use of the h#...
unfortunately...
heh...
anyone watching the Tick right now? "Who made you the cross-
dressing king of justice?"
