Daniel, Thank you for your comment [1] on the latest Association Style Sheets draft [2]. You suggest that: in the definition of the 'media' attribute, [the spec] should probably specify that if the 'media' pseudo-attribute is absent then the stylesheet applies to "all" media. We have tried in this spec to stay away from discussing what applications do with the information in this PI. In fact, there are applications beyond browsers--including some SGML/XML editors--that make use of the information in this PI and that ignore such a PI if the media pseudo-attribute is omitted, and there is nothing wrong with that behavior. The (second) Note in section 2 currently reads: <quote> The details of how conforming xml-stylesheet processors exploit the information contained in xml-stylesheet processing instructions are out of scope for this document, as they may reasonably vary from processor to processor. </quote> but that is somewhat of a misstatement. We are changing that Note to read: <quote> The details of how applications exploit the information contained in xml-stylesheet processing instructions are out of scope for this document, as they may reasonably vary from application to application . </quote> The xml-stylesheet processor does not exploit the information in the PI at all; it passes it on to the application which decides what to do with it, and what the application does with it is out of scope of the Associating Style Sheets specification itself. Please reply (cc-ing www-xml-stylesheet-comments@w3.org) as to whether you accept such a resolution of your comment. paul [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-stylesheet-comments/2010Mar/ 0000 [2] http://www.w3.org/XML/2010/03/xml-stylesheet/
