Seems to change >frequently, rendering any attempt to use it futile. Hmmm... the SGML standard (ISO8879:1986) hasn't changed since 1986, and the HTML 2.0 spec (RFC1866) hasn't changed since Nov '95. Vendors are innovating, and if you invest in their technology before it becomes standard (or even properly documented with a DTD), you do so at your own risk. Several technologies are under public review for standardization. See www.ietf.org and http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/ for details. Dan
