Hi Sebastian, > If/when we do return to mapping, > <its:langMap its:mapName="myLang"/> > isn't sufficient to deal with my examples in the > Mandelieu Communique. After talking with Felix today I realized that for language identification, we can have a 'normal' rule. Actually the proposed notation: <its:langRule its:selector="//*" its:langMap="@myLangAttribute"/> Is fine (except for the langMap name). But I see it as a normal slection+information rule, not a mapping. It simply says: For any node of "//*" go fetch the language identifier information in @myLangAttribute and apply it to the node. Just like <its:locInfoRule its:selector="//p" its:locInfoMap="@myNode"/> says: for any node of "//p" go fetch the note in @myNote and apply it to the node. So, we certainly can have a langRule without involving 'mapping'. As for mapping, I'm not sure at all how to express it. I think we would first need to know how it would be utilized besides using it for what the <zzzRule> elements already provide. Cheers, -yves
