Regrettably, much of that thread seems to have failed to have made it to
my server at all. Hmph.
So the claim is that a "UI bar" is not a footer, based on some
definition requiring it to be a line of text? Seems rather arbitrary to
me, particularly without a clear understanding of what a "UI bar" is. Is
a line containing links like "Home", "Search", "Site Map" and "Contact
Us" at the bottom of the page a footer, or a "UI bar"? Does the browser
matter as part of that definition (e.g., shiney buttons in Opera, plain
ol' text in Lynx)?
The definition of what _isn't_ a footer seems quite hazy, and not
terribly intuitive.
I know, you aren't Spartanicus and I don't hold you responsible for his
confusion, but at the same time it seems that the definition given for
what a footer is is directly contradicted by his example of what a
footer isn't.
