At a first glance there seem to be some useful syntactical concepts here, it could well be that there's something here that could augment XSL thought, rather than replace. Constructs like this in XSL could actually be interpreted by the formatter as providing leeway for feedback, where in non-"flex" cases the formatter might not be permitted to do so. This is similar to AngularJS where you can mark off regions of an XHTML page where the underlying framework takes over (albeit for different purposes). It does seem like we're using feedback concepts to control multipass externally, when it strikes me that a sufficiency of syntax should allow the formatter to internally multipass if required. Arved
