Stylesheets are supposed to be optional, but links are an inherent part of the data. What's wrong with simply relying on XLink to tell us what is a link? (Note that I'm not saying CSS shouldn't be used to _style_ links. That I do agree with, and I think some work needs to be done to be able to style arbitrary links -- see the "Link and Style" note that was recently released. Maybe some ::link() pseudo-element that selects nodes in what I call the "linkfoset" -- the infoset of the document's links.) -- Ian Hickson )\ _. - ._.) fL Invited Expert, CSS Working Group /. `- ' ( `--' The views expressed in this message are strictly `- , ) - > ) \ personal and not those of Netscape or Mozilla. ________ (.' \) (.' -' ______
