As far as the DOM is concerned it is nigh on impossible to support dynamic creation of repetition templates. Support for repetition blocks is slightly easier. Regarding CSS/markup, the only way to support the spec as it currently stands is to write some form of DOM-walking to identify repetition templates and associated blocks. I outlined a way to speed this up in a previous message: http://listserver.dreamhost.com/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-March/003299.html (you might have to read the entire thread to get the point). If the tag set were restricted then the need for DOM walking would be removed and would significantly improve performance on an IE platform. -dean
