I'd say that anything short of complex animation that can only be done with scripts needs to be reviewed in the specification. XSLT has less of a security problem, but even that causes problems with respect to the other items. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
