[Chris Wilson:] | I would be very surprised if the difference between pre-DSSSL and | post-DSSSL code size would be 100k or less. However, even so, looking | at DSSSL, large portions of functionality would have to be added to | non-SGML-based Web tools (the top 10 or so most popular web browsers, | definitely) in order to support DSSSL. The concept of a tree | transformation engine, for example, is difficult to grasp in Web | browsers that currently don't even maintain document structure according | to the strict SGML nesting model. Just to be clear -- the dsssl-o subset designed for initial use with browsers and editors doesn't include the transformation piece at all (see http://occam.sjf.novell.com:8080/docs/dsssl-o/do951212.htm). Which is not to say that implementing it would be trivial.
