As near as I can tell CSS has no way of allowing authors to choose their own element type names for links or graphics. Unless I am wrong, information owners would have to design their document types around CSS which goes somewhat against the spirit of XML. This is too bad because I think that CSS could be an excellent language for XML editor stylesheets. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco "The Reduced * Set (R*S) is a design paradigm promoting simplicity over all other design constraints. R*S may be applied to all seven OSI networking layers. In fact, layers one through six may be simplified to the point of extinction, promoting the ultimate goal of reduced complexity and utility." - http://www.w3.org/1999/04/REC-Reduced-set
