I think I made a substantive comment ([2], [3] and [4)] about this last editor's draft the very same day it was released, I quote, "for further general review by W3C members" [1]. That comment could appear in DoC... Am I the only one here seeing "for further general review" means "for comments"? I am maintaining my objection despite of Simon Pieters' personal answer in first part of [5]. I think that saying xml-stylesheet is underspecified about the media pseudo-attribute because a document that has even not reached FPWD status may appear some time in the future is a flaw. It may also not appear or be substantially changed. In the meantime, we have an architectural issue that goes against commonly implemented practice and leaves totally unspecified something that should be specified because the Web as we know it deeply relies on it. Please note that an xml-stylesheet- and CSS-conforming user agent may decide to NOT implement the CSS OM, leaving this issue unresolved. Not specifying the absence of the 'media' pseudo-attr was certainly, seen from the CSS landscape, a mistake in the first xml-stylesheet REC since no other spec specifies it. It's then, seen from here, something that should be resolved as errata, hence my refusal of Paul Grosso's answer in [6]. What does the lack of the 'media' pseudo-attr exactly mean? That question remains open (since june 1999). I'm fine with the answer about scoped stylesheets even if I regret it and find it counter-productive.
