Editing

I'm editing a book for O'Reilly right now on CSS. As a technical editor on CSS Cookbook, I'm sure you can imagine what I'm doing now…
It's amazing how many useful things I've simply forgotten to do. The re-discovery of the <fieldset> tag, wow! And simple things like access keys that I should be including but which simply get bumped from my brain in the race to complete other portions of pages.
As I edit, I'm keeping a list of things I've forgotten or simply been too lazy to use. These two are on there, that's for sure.

Please, publish this list here once you're done, for those of us too lazy to make one ourselves ;-).

Don't forget to give <legend> some love, too.

Here's another, the fact that you can have spaces in classes to assign, basically, multiple classes or a hierarchy of classes to the same object.
<a href="mailto:blah@blah.com" class="icon email">email</a>
<a href="http://nslog.com/" class="icon web">site</a>
a
{
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
#content a.icon:after
{
display: block;
width: 17px;
height: 15px;
margin: 2px;
}
#content a.email:after
{ content: url(email.gif); }
#content a.search:after
{ content: url(search.gif); }
