Yes, an ID REF would seem to be the most flexible option. Then you'd probably have a little fun with someone referencing an ID that appears after the list in question, though. > Hmm, maybe, though I don't believe it is semantically important > whether the list is presented as a count-up or count-down list, but I'm > sure this is debatable. I would argue that it is. Often the "latest" entry in a list is of most interest to a reader, even in an unstyled environment. Incremental rendering of backwards lists would no doubt be impossible, though. -- J. King http://jking.dark-phantasy.com/
