For me, the biggest arguments against DSSSL are the obscure documents describing it. Take <http://occam.sjf.novell.com:8080/docs/dsssl-o/do951212.htm>, for example. And don't give it back. Seriously, the best arguments I've seen for DSSSL are your examples. If you're really trying to drum up support, you might want to supplement with some less intimidating reference material than above, such as the gentle "Introduction..." at <http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco/dsssl/tutorial.html>. Or am I the only one on this list not already familiar with DSSSL? BTW, why no 'rotation-axis' and 'rotation-angle' classes? David Perrell
