Due at the start of class, Wednesday, September 21.

Please submit answers to these questions either as a hard copy (typeset or handwritten are OK) or by email to jteresco AT siena.edu by the start of class. Please use a clear subject line when submitting by email (e.g., CS 180 Lecture Assignment 4, Joe Student). We will discuss these questions at the start of class, so no late submissions are accepted.

Describe in a few sentences why it is desirable to write HTML documents using tags with more semantic meaning (like putting table headers in <th> elements or using the <strong> element) rather than a simple formatting element like <b>, even though they may render identically in traditional browsers.
