It's similar to using lists for menus. Breadcrumbs are a list -- a list of places that you have visited on the way to where you are.
If you buy that, then you can acknowledge such use is Semantically Correct. There may be alternatives that just as Correct or even moreso.
I believe the capitalization on the term Semantically Correct is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment that there is no authoritative answer to this particular question.
- ianb 16y agoSemantics are almost always without authority, from what I can tell. E.g., by your definition if I write "When you go to the store can you pick up milk, butter, and toilet paper" I am being semantically incorrect, as I am using this "," thing to indicate items in a list instead of ul's and li's.
- RickHull 16y ago> by your definition if I write "When you go to the store can you pick up milk, butter, and toilet paper" In the context of a human conversation, the semantics of your list are apparent. In the context of HTML, the semantics are not apparent. An absence of semantics is not the same as semantically incorrect. To my understanding, something that is semantically incorrect would be more misleading than ambiguous.
