(11.2.4, 11.2.5)? No. The only problem I ever saw with them was the whitespace stuff, and we're going to fix that otherwise anyway, right? Inclusions can make things hard to format, but what is the problem with exclusions? I think we should have both, or maybe just exclusions, but not none. What I'd really like is a "one-level" inclusion so that I could declare an element and say that it should be included anywhere in the immediate content of another element. I _know_ we're not going to do that one. -- David _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________ http://www.dynamicdiagrams.com/services_map_main.html
