That's a little bit of a tricky question. DSSSL isn't a security system. That's also why it doesn't stop Mike Wexler's scheme of copying the DSSSL file and subverting it. If you want to load a DSSSL script and subvert it you probalby can. The calling stylesheet has all of the power. It doesn't even have to ever let the called stylesheet's construction rules get executed. This is the ultimate subversion, the called stylesheet is ignored! This is also how you would do a cascade in the unlikely event that you need it. Realistically, though, DSSSL systems would be set up so that the parameters are supplied by an entity that is included INTO the main (centrally supplied) stylesheet. You would edit them as if you were editing an .INI file or simple stylesheet and they would get sucked into the called stylesheet at runtime. Paul Prescod
