  "At last! After microformats, AJAX, Web 2.0, XFN, JSON, XML-RPC (etc. etc.), they finally came up with a new fancy word that I can not only pronounce and remember, but actually understand as well! POSH - Plain Old Semantic HTML! Yup, I can do that :-)"

• CVW Web Design Blog (http://www.cvwdesign.com/txp/article/213/poshify-your-website):

  "I intend to do what I can with my own code - and keep aware of the latest development in this area. I'd encourage all website authors to do the same."

• The Internet’s Upper Class Or Why Your Site Should Be POSH (http://www.unintentionallyblank.co.uk/2007/04/24/plain-old-semantic-html/):

  The idea is so simple it’s brilliant, get people to promote valid, semantic markup again.

• pLAIN oLD sEMANTIC html (http://shubox.net/blog/?p=11):

  "After reading the last few threads of the html5 specification mail-shots, and witnessing a serious discussion about why table tags should be allowed inside p tags (I read in disbelief!), I think more than ever good clean semantic mark-up needs promoting and a silly acronym might just be the way forward."

  Talking about HTML, Tantek has started pushing for a new acronym for me to add to my list of acronyms that don't mean anything new: now, in addition to DHTML, REST, and AJAX, he is adding POSH. Plain Old Semantic HTML. It's actually a pretty good thing to be pushing for. I encourage everyone to publish POSH.
