Yes, that's accurate; but there is new opportunity here. CSS, XSLT, and JavaScript present the option to specify styling for unknown elements, in the same or different namespaces. Must-ignore could become "Must-ignore unless the stylesheet says not to". I'm not sure if this is really a good idea or not, but I for one would find it very useful and make heavy use of it. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Java I/O 2nd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeaulait.org/books/javaio2/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596527500/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA/
