If <dialog> is used instead of <dialogue> then it should be designed in<br>
a such way that it can be used for dialog box in addition to dialogue<br>
(e.g. chat) in the future.</blockquote></div></div></blockquote><div> I severely doubt this is possible or desirable. It would make it *more* confusing, I think, if <dialog> was meant for dialog boxes *and* marking up conversations.<br>
<br>Just to throw out yet another possibility, how about <convo>? I don't like it too much, but it at least avoids most of the issues that plagued the other submissions. I'm generally convinced that <dialog> is an okay choice for this, but if we *were* to change, I at least want to make sure it's something I can get behind.<br>
<br>My personal favorite alternate suggestion so far has been <cl>. Short and a little confusing? Maybe. But it has the benefit of being unambiguous and parallels existing tags with similar syntax. But meh, it's probably not quite right, as <dialog> isn't meant to be illustrating a conversation list, but rather is a list illustrating a conversation.<br>
