I took the next step from there and basically asked if, given this situation, you think it likely that instead of developing their own fixed style-sheet, they would be sufficiently satisfied with using the one we are developing in that spec. Or more to the point: I would hope that if that spec wasn't sufficient, we could extend it together. I'd prefer it if we didn't come up with a whole swag of fixed style-sheets. ;-) Silvia.
