Best practices
The basic idea
Volcanic eruptions have
literally devastated large
inhabited areas. During the
1914 eruption of
Sakurajima in Kyushu, 687
houses in Kurokami were
buried in hot ash. What
remained of this shrine
gate, previously five meters
tall, was left as a reminder.
Kurokami maibutsu gate
(腹五社神社黒神埋没鳥居),
Sakurajima Island.

Our final example in this
section relates to a best practice
rather than additional markup.
The
caption for the photo has been captured in
an attribute value.
The problem with this is that
it is now impossible to identify the
Japanese text using xml:lang
information, nor to apply the kind of
bidirectional markup we saw earlier for
Middle Eastern languages.
