It was only an example for illustration purposes. If you prefer, let's just say that we want a <DIV> to be completely independent of any other parts of the page. The <DIV> needs its own style "sheet". How can you do it without a style attribute? >If you use SSI for headers, footers, etc. then you'll find XSLT 1.0 >a *lot* more flexible.
