I thought that it was sufficient to say that if you transmitted the DTD and expect the browser to parse that then you could define a fixed XML attribute in the DTD but if you did not transmit the DTD (because the browser could not process it) then you had to add the XML attribute to all instances of elements that are to exhibit linkedness. The idea of leaving it to the style sheet to say "this is a link" appals me as I cannot manage my links properly this way. (I could live with the link definition being defined as an SGML link attribute, but I suspect that would bring a ton of brickbats on my head!) ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.
