[Proposal] Project subtitles or slogan

["Brian S. Hayes" <br...@comcast.net>]

I would like to be able to specify in the skin configuration a sub title for
the project.  This subtitle might be a slogan, by-line, or credentials.

Examples:
Project name     : Forrest
Project subtitle: Simplifying Website Development 

Project name     : John Doe
Project subtitle: Certifiably Insane

In this case, it would be simple enough if the name and subtitle were
rendered as HTML text with two different font (CSS) stylings.  The hyper
link would be off of the name and not the subtitle.

I realize the work-around is to create a graphic logo.  However, I think
HTML+CSS text logos can be sufficient for many websites (but, perhaps, not
for aural sites).  It would also be nice to be able to override the default
stylings from skinconf.

It depends on what the semantic and intention of project-description is.

Currently the project-description is only being used by the renderlogo
template which is called by site2xhtml.xsl.  renderlogo places the
project-description value in the title attribute of the img element (which
gives a nice tool tip when viewed using a browser like Mozilla).  Based on
my limited understanding of the HTML specifications, I believe that an img
element's title attribute should provide a description of what is in the
image (e.g. "2004 Forrest Celebration Party" or "MyProject logo." In the
Forrest skin case, it appears that the description applies at the web site
level (e.g. "Forrest project website").  As such, the project description
should probably be placed on the body element.

I think project-description is different than a subtitle (slogan, by-line,
or credentials).  A project-description can be used in conjunction with a
"project-subtitle".  Also, if a subtitle (slogan/by-line/credentials) is
provided, it should always be displayed (unless you want to have an index
page only option).

Best regards,
Brian

there is already a project-description element, is that good enough for it?
