If the class enabled-browser will allow the reader to link with the stylesheet of his choice, or even in a language- sensitive manner (!!), one name serves all: <DIV CLASS="preamble" LANG="iw"> .... </DIV> Could invoke the Hebrew stylesheet's style for preamble (Or the stylsheet itself could have multiple definitions by language). What LANG actually does in many situations is still undefined! (Of course, Miscrosoft's browser being the only widely distributed one with stylesheets and since they have daintily eliminated all language/codepage oriented stuff from their agenda, it seems, this work needs be done outside of Gate's domain)
