>It's not a language thing but a browser thing. The DOM is a document model API, not a browser API. Creating a new document by transformation of an existing document strikes me as being sufficiently high level that it should be built on top of the DOM rather than built into the DOM. (Unlike XPath, which can be argued to be a tool for exploring an existing document.) On the other hand... XQuery is arguably _almost_ an extension of XPath, even though it's semantically almost identical to XSLT 2.0. I'm still not convinced that the DOM WG, per se, should be the group tackling this (or has the resources to do so), but I'm not sure who should be dealing with it. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
