However, this is the ONLY community I am aware of that uses the term "stylesheet" for anything other than formatting. There will be a problem if DSSSL is the only legal way to handle XML processing engines. XML will be excellent for applications that don't know a DSSSL spec or engine exists. As I noted earlier, DSSSL and HyTime are on equal footing with regards to widespread adoption and implementation. API *standards* will appear ad hoc. That isn't a problem really, because acquisition specs will cite products by name and where available, ISO number. len bullard lockheed martin
