RK> A way to do this is applying a xsl stylesheet to the table (either via RK> script or an included stylesheet) and transforming the thing to an svg RK> piechart. MR> you could use XBL 2.0, some scripting and the <canvas> element LH> There are already working solutions available for drawing graphs using LH> script, <canvas> and/or SVG. What is easier for user: that you mentioned or to change @presentation="alphabet" to @presentation="pie" ? What is more convenient for user ? PHL> this sort of thing should be handled via CSS or similar. I agree, that it's necessary to change attribute @presentation by property 'presentation'. PHL> If your intention is to inject visual/presentational elements back into PHL> HTML No, of course, no. Gold isn't in it. LH> Please try to start by describing use cases and problems, instead of LH> always proposing solutions to undefined problems. See answer for first question (i promise, that i will begin next proposals from use cases and problems. Use cases was absolutely obviously for me). --- RK> By applying this transformation via scripting, you could still RK> display the data as a table for browsers that do not support xsl RK> transformations and svg rendering. In my version, if browser does not support @presentation, it display as usually (i.e. as @presentation="alphabet"). MR> Doing things like pie charts MR> directly in markup would only make HTML more complicated to implement in MR> a user agent. To show chart (rendered by separate procedure) instead of to show table (rendered by other procedure) ? "complicated to implement" ? Why ?? P.S. Even if it will be so, my point is that, user has priority over machine (i.e. usability has priority).
