If you can trust authors to use relative sizing then you don't need cascading, just parameterization. DSSSL has built-in parameterization ( (declare-initial-value ...) ) for inherited characteristics, but you could also make more advanced parameters available like: "use-colors?" "java-available?" etc. Paul Prescod
