Problem Description

Current Limitations

  • I think "Current Limitations" and "Problem Description" will generally be the same thing. Almost always, the problem is a current limitation. Sure we could formulate problems in more general term, like "Problem: need to markup a dialogue; Limitation: no semantic markup for that", but in fact, marking up the dialog isn't really a problem (it's easy to markup a dialog with <dl>), the limitation is. --Michel Fortin 07:17, 17 November 2006 (PST)

The current limitations is for explaining why existing markup is not appropriate. --Lachlan Hunt 09:37, 17 November 2006 (PST)
