[[Talk.Creole0.6]] seemd to indicate that it wouldn't be a good idea to
make the escape character an addition. That's still my opinion.

I have difficulty in understanding how the decision process works,
especially since last week.

Isn't embedding the style directly in the generated (x)html a mark of bad, uhm, style? I mean, it should be {{{<div class="mail-quote">}}} rather than {{{<div style="some arbitrary presentation that might not fit the overall style of the site">}}}. Then again, there is the question of users using browsers that are not CSS-enabled -- they should at least see that they are missing something.

I think that the spec should show a "good" solution, or just don't show any at all if no good solution exists. I see several possibilities:
* only say that the text should be rendered as indented,
* only say thet the text should be marked as a quotation, in any way, not necessarily by indentation (some styles might use colors or colored bars),
* generate the quted parts as a blockquote (with a class),
* generate the quoted parts as a single-element, unordered list with special class for styling (with a class),
* generate the quoted parts as a single-element definition list with empty 'term' part,
* generate the quoted parts as a div, but with the '>' left in the text, and removed with style,

All of these solutions have their pros and cons, as far as I can tell none is 100% "correct".

The examples are just a possibility of how the markup could be represented.  Developers have to decide for themselves which way would make most sense for their situation.

I've replaced "recommended" with "possible" for the XHTML with embedded style. Maybe this should be done everywhere. I agree that embedded style isn't very nice; however, the simplest, shortest rendition is sometimes more informational than clean output following W3 advices, which recommends against {{{<i>}}} and {{{<b>}}}.

I haven't managed to find any discussion of a table headers addition.  I understand not supporing all of the possible table markup, which is extensive.  But captions seem pretty obvious to me.  I'm finishing up a Perl module that parses Creole 1.0 and will probably add an optional caption syntax.  I'm thinking {{{|? caption text}}}.    Opinions?

If it's going to be included in Creole, I'd prefer the same syntax for captions for tables and images. See the recent discussion at [[Talk.Images]].
