DSSSL-O now includes lambda and other recursive features according to http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/sun-info/standards/dsssl/dssslo/do960816.htm Maybe some of the participants could discuss that change. > I think we need more experience before coming up with this one, though. > > I didn't understand one comment: > > Programmatic transformations of arbitrary DSSSL code *is* a PITA. > Pita is a kind of middle-eastern bread, right??? Pain In The Ass. The "canonical" example is loading an arbitrary DSSSL stylesheet and presenting a good GUI version of it. On the other hand, maybe the very act of defining a function (even a non-recursive one) makes a stylesheet basically impossible to GUI-ize. Removing functions would make it difficult to do many simple code reuse tricks. Paul Prescod DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
