Dan's suggestion for using processing instructions for DSSL lite inside HTML and other SGML docs seems fine, although like Steve, I would prefer the PI to following the start tag. One idea, I am putting forward for HTML 3.0 is a mechanism to subclass tags based on the value of a generic style attribute. This allows you to say in the style sheet: render this subset of <P>s different from the rest of the <P>s without having to use IDs to refer to each instance. This way we can keep style sheets applicable to a broad class of documents rather than ending up with one per document, that you need with the ID based treatment. Dan's suggestion provides a complimentary approach which is great for when you want to override the style settings for just one element. -- Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> tel: +44 272 228046 fax: +44 272 228003 Hewlett Packard Laboratories, Filton Road, Bristol BS12 6QZ, United Kingdom
