I agree -- saying "To understand this, read the HyTime standard" is in all but one case an oxymoron; this sentence is the exception. XML must stand (or crawl or wriggle or fall) alone. If it is _absolutely_ necessary tomention HyTime in the spec., please make it in a non-normative part such as a note or an annotated bibliography. You don't need to read GML [sic] docs to use SGML or AAP either. Most of the people using SGML today would rather be beaten on the soles of their feet with a dead fish than read the HyTime specs; most of the people using HTML today would rather watch. Lee
