Re: correspondence encoding problems: letter headings

Hi Conal,

(Wow, it feels like you've kindly bumped me over the end tag of a nasty 
<blindspot> element I'd been trapped in, thanks!)

<fw> looks very suitable. While its content model is quite limited, it 
can contain elements like <address> and <figure>, which seem to be 
frequent components of letterheads. I'll definitely give this closer 
consideration.

Best,

Ron
