[Adam Bosworth:] | 90% of Word users don't use styles because it requires a top down | systemic model for authoring that doesn't come naturally to them. Right. I am as rabid a stylesheet advocate as anyone in the world, but I believe that this approach is not for the great majority of users. I believe that the construction of stylesheets is for advanced users and professional designers. The reason that this relatively small group of people is worth pursuing is because they historically have been and (I believe) will be responsible for the production of the great majority of pages, if not by themselves personally then by workers who are constrained by organizational policy to work with the typographical treatments that the designers create. There is nothing new about this. Ultimately it may not be the ability of end-user tools to support the creation of stylesheets that matters, but their ability to process the stylesheets that they are given. Jon
