Hi Jeni, Jeni said: OK; if I interpret 'styling' as "supplying a presentation form of" it sounds to me as if it should be able to embed the result of 'styling' a Java class (i.e. an applet). Didier replies: You're absolutely right Jeni. In some cases the activeX or java applet will be a non visual object but it can also and is most of the time a visual object. The "embed" attribute is very ambiguous as is any non semantic attribute associated to links. I would categorize this as a bug in the Xlink specs and it would be better to recommend not using it. The host domain language knows better the rendition context if that host language is a rendering language. Now the question is: do we still want to have XHTML as a rendering language or do we want it to evolve into a common denominator "document semantics" domain language. Cheers Didier PH Martin
