yeah, i wasn't sure where the line is drawn, i do things certain ways because it seems like the bext practice to me (like smenantics) so i never bothered to check how the standards dealt with it because it wasn't an interest to me - i'd end up doing it my way because it just seems right.

i wasn't sure how the w3 goes about recommend doing stuff like that and i thought it was a good example to illustrate how <h1> or <div> don't make a difference in that case.

i think standards are devided a lot by what 'seems right'. some thing making a #header div w/ the image cached as the bg is the best way, some think using a blank div w/ the <img> tag is the best route. technically i think they're both correct.
