I was thinking from a CSS view, which would benefit from having tags instead of types for current elements. What would be really cool is if you can customise your own tags :) hot hot hot! Ah!

maybe i’m a bit short-sighted, but why can’t DIV use a ‘type’ attribute?

div type=”header”
div type=”footer”

etc.

and then for TABLE

table type=”datagrid”

that attribute is unused in block-level elements as far as i know, so might as well keep things simple and (here’s the kicker) extensible for future use. or maybe it is more useful to have a header and datagrid tag? i guess it wouldn’t seem like much of an ‘upgrade’ if they didn’t throw in new tags =/

XHTML 2.0 is much much cooler as far as actual advancements go.
