Re: FW: XInclude use case for Device Independence

Yes, I had been made aware of that and didn't notice that it wasn't

I think using AVTs fits in with one of the suggestions I made:

Instead of inventing an expression language, you could say that you
expand AVTs. You still have to fiddle with the processing model, of
course, because you don't want the processor to attempt to expand
XInclude before you evaluate the AVT!
