In that case, I hope we can use something more refined than seeAlso to say "well, here's the newer version, i.e. the version I'm most actively supporting today, though I still stand by this old version. I don't promise you can use them together at the same time to get something sensible." and maybe the tabulator can be taught to discriminate. > Eric -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
