Hi Jeni, [Jeni's answer to the css proposal] Didier replies: Thinking more about it. This would lead to a domino effect. If we want to make the XML processing tools aware of this mapping feature, then XSLT will have to be updated to include CSS as a processing element. Otherwise, XSLT has no clues to know that an element is mapped to an xlink characteristic. So the impact is: XSLT will need to import and process the CSS in order to map the element and to be able to match the templates with the mapped characteristic. Said differently if the <a> href attribute is mapped to the xlink:href attribute, the to make the XSLT engine to be able to process a template such as <template match="@xlink:href">, then it need to include and process the CSS document providing the mapping. It also implies that CSS itself will need to use another CSS document to process documents for the same reasons as above. This is becoming complex Jeni and I do not know if we are progressing toward a good solution or if we are creating a domino effect.... Cheers Didier PH Martin
