The <range> and <spot> tags work together. The <spot> tag, with the "id=" attribute set to a value, identifies an area of the document. The <spot> tag would usually be used in pairs. The <range> tag then references, by setting its "class=" attribute, the area defined by the <spot> tags.

This tag could be useful to search engines to identify areas of a document that reference a specific topic. A typical use would be as follows:

<range> class="search" from="target1" until="target2">
<spot id="target1">some text or other stuff here. <spot id="target2">

The example above identifies a section of text with the <spot> tags and <range> identifies the area with a class name.
