@kenshirriff The tech is amazing but it still seems wasteful (not w.r.t. money but w.r.t. resources). QR code would be better but maybe they don’t work well enough for this use case(?)

: I still remember <dl> as “definition list” but it’s now called “description list”.

Similar redefinitions (in these cases, to make the elements more semantic):
– <hr> (horizontal rule) is now “thematic break” (tHematic bReak?).
– <i> (italics) is now “idiomatic text”
– <b> (bold) is now “bring attention to”
