Can you explain what you mean by 'multiple transforms' -- alternative ones or sequential ones? What's the use case for them in TriX? Of course if you have a TriX mechanism for specifying TriX transforms, that doesn't prevent you in any way from also including an <?xml-stylesheet?> for a transform to HTML or XSL-FO or whatever. Having alternative transforms of an XML file into the TriX plain triples format doesn't seem very useful, a single deterministic mapping seems the only reasonable thing to do there :-) |> OTOH, introducing your own "media descriptor" for TriX should also be |> possible without causing havoc, even though the specs don't allow it. | | I read HTML 4.0 as permitting a profile to include new media | descriptors, without providing any mechanism for so doing.
