Code follows function: adding in a new HTML element 'cause they have to.

Our class is a way off from any real analysis of web page creation, but I just ran across this interesting article about a new HTML element that may be created, in part because of the ubiquity of mobile browsing and what Ethan Marcotte called "responsive design."

Imagine that someone somewhere, the MLA perhaps, just created a brand new part of speech because that's where use of the language was headed. Not a new word or phrase, mind you, but a new way to use those building blocks in our language. this change isn't quite as extreme, but it's still pretty interesting. Give it a read over on Ars Technica.
