According to projectseven.com,

a source disclosed that the standards-setting body World Wide Web

Consortium (W3C) plans to remove the span and div tags from XHTML 2.0

specifiaction.


The move intends to “give us everything we need to make any kind of

layout we can imagine.”  The message at the projectseven site

further states:


We’re providing this page, free and clear, as a template you can use

during the transition. It contains neither DIVs, SPANs, nor Tables. The

markup is pure as can be. Note this day, 1-April-2005, as the dawning

of a new and semantically pure era.




A dawn of a new and pure era?  Hmm …


NOTE THIS DAY, INDEED! ;) 1-April-2005.
