Even the temr stylesheet is disposable in the above. What I really mean is: "Markup is for declarative, structural information. Formatting or other processing behavior is declared externally to the document." >However, this is the ONLY community I am aware of that uses >the term "stylesheet" for anything other than formatting.

As I noted earlier, >DSSSL and HyTime are on equal footing with regards to widespread >adoption and implementation. DSSSL is the only processing standard that this group is comitted to produce. I stringly believe that we need to address CSS, and a way to pass markup structures to Java applets via some kind of CSS and DSSSL bindings. But that is not an argument for the moment, I think. Even though we may not standardise anything other than DSSSL, we are certainly not preventing other groups from doing so... -- David I am not a number.
