So what is the advisory going to say: "We know these steps are going to do bad things do your document but we're not going to tell you how to fix them." or "Here be dragons." or "Results will vary" ? That list would have to include: p:add-attribute p:insert p:replace p:rename p:wrap p:unwrap p:set-attributes p:xslt p:pack which is a third of our required steps. To me, that's an admission that we have a problem that we don't want to solve. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
