I was unaware of that 'erratum' and would have objected if I had known about it. It seems to have been added without consideration of the implementations which had faithfully implemented the original Recommendation and which thus require this pseudo-attribute. Making it optional means that editing tools have no way to figure out if a stylesheet is CSS or XSL other than by attemptig to resolve the URL. This is not a good idea. -- Chris
