MB> this should be done ... not overriding tables You think, this is non-table ? You are wrong. This is __other presentation__ of table. QUANTITY OF ROWS 1-3 4-... PRESENTATION numerical + + chart + - "Plus"-es mean, that three rows can be displayed both as numbers and as chart. "Minus" means, that it's impossible to display four (and above) rows, because we can't draw 4D-space. As much as in MS Excel, 1-3 rows can be dispayed as chart, if they contain only numbers (instead of words or embeded html-elements). I think to change @chart to @presentation with "numeric" as default value. <table presentation="numeric / pie / etc"> PNA> Why not "simply" create an XHTML type of <chart> that has a PNA> <chart_datapoint> member or something like that? MB> bet way to handle this is to use XHTML MB> <body> MB> <chartns:piechart> MB> <chartns:data key="this" value="123"/> MB> <chartns:data key="that" value="456"/> MB> </chartns:piechart> MB> <body> (1) Recall about razor of Occam: don't enter entity without needs. (2) Because your way is __more__ (comparison characteristic) difficult for applied specialists (biologists, technologists, etc). For simple man. MB> A table is for tables, not charts. PNA> it was not intended to be Orthodox-ness. No more.
