Yes, this adds another level of complication. I mentioned this in my post too. Note that CSS applies to media other than screen. Such as "aural", "print" or "braille". (CSS covers more medias than XSL:FOs.) On Tue, 26 Jun 2001, Jeffrey Yasskin wrote: > > By the way, the type attribute of the xml-stylesheet PI is required. See > http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-stylesheet/.
