That is (one of) the things it was designed for. But yes, whether the content is generated server-side or at the client is an interesting question. I can see DSSSL being used server-side to generate HTML content, for example. -- Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 (0)4 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
