I do not know the answer to your question. However, your question brings to mind a bigger question: Why Bother? Why would one want to transform a semantics-full HTML document that is readable on all platforms using any output media and that uses internationally understood structural markup, with a semantic-free XSL:FO file that is only readable using the intended output media on platforms that support that media, and that cannot be processed by any application to return it to its original state? In other words: Why would one use XSL:FOs when XHTML+CSS can achieve the same effect while keeping accessibility and document structure? -- Ian Hickson )\ _. - ._.) fL Netscape, Standards Compliance QA /. `- ' ( `--' +1 650 937 6593 `- , ) - > ) \ irc.mozilla.org:Hixie _________________________ (.' \) (.' -' __________
