I do not think so. Using the http protocol, it is the _server_ which gives out the information about the document type. What should a user agent do if the <insert> type says 'image/gif', but the server gives 'image/jpg'? What if the type isn't fixed in advance? How would you do it with content negotiation? I think putting the mime-type in as an attribute, is not object oriented. Abigail -- <URL: http://www.edbo.com/abigail/> (Changed)
