Comments on: Accessibility vs. Semantic Markup? http://semantichumanities.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/accessibility-vs-semantic-markup/ web technology and humanities scholarship Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:15:04 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jason Grant http://semantichumanities.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/accessibility-vs-semantic-markup/#comment-4648 Jason Grant Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:41:10 +0000 https://semantichumanities.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/accessibility-vs-semantic-markup/#comment-4648 HTML is semantic enough for what it was designed for. I challenge anyone to explain to me exactly why HTML isn't semantic enough. Sometime it does require a bit of thinking in HTML on how to mark up some more complicated things or unusual things, but it usually can be done very well.

I don't know what the etiquette is here, and it certainly does feel a little rude to say to you "here's another of my blogs on the same subject"...but, it's true...here is another of my blogs on the same subject: http://internet-apps.blogspot.com/2006/08/using-role-attribute-to-extend-xhtml.html Actually, it's still about @role, but it's about how to use it to 'extend' XHTML, without having to wait years for new language features. Obviously, if any of your readers didn't like the last post you linked to, then they aren't going to be that impressed with this one. They could save themselves some time by not reading this one. All the best, Mark Hi,
