--- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
(Personal response). The Working Groups decided many years ago not to produce
"print" versions of the specifications; there was some experimenal work to do
so, but no-one felt the results were very satisfactory. Our only definitive
publication is in hypertext designed for online viewing, and if you attempt to
print that hypertext and find the results unsatisfactory, that is not our
problem. I would encourage you to use the specs the way they are designed to be
used, namely online hypertext browsing. For that usage, attaching reference
numbers to every link and every anchor would be extremely distracting,
especially for those specs like XSLT that are very heavily hyperlinked.

Alternatively, we publish the XML, so if you want an alternative rendition, you
could work from the XML master.
