If that floats your boat, you're free to do it. But when you do, the answer isn't a GRDDL result, any more or less than the result of some random transformation applied to some random document. What suggests applying any transformations to any results? > Without chair's hat on, if such specification doesn't exist, perhaps > that text and (if the editor sees fit!) a rule should be added, and the > #loop test-case should be added to the test-cases. The loop test case is already in the test cases, no? It's not yet approved; I'm all for approving it. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
