Subject: XS: print output From: Jon Bosak <bosak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 11:18:43 -0700 |
[This was sent a couple of days ago but bounced due to a change in my mail setup.] Several comments have indicated that some people think that XS is only for screen display, which is not true. The objective is to define a set of features that works for screen display and also for high-quality printouts from XML editors and browsers. "High quality" is hard to define, but it means something considerably better than what current HTML browsers will give you but not as fancy as what would be needed for glossy magazine layouts. The criterion used in forming the current application profile was that it should support the level of printing needed for good-looking but simple one-column publications like technical manuals. The printed versions of the xml-lang and xml-link specifications are a good example of this level of functionality. Some experimentation with Jade suggests that it has just about exactly what is needed for this purpose. I would certainly not accept a level of print quality below this threshold. Whether we should go the next step up to, say, the level needed to support the average academic journal (math, footnotes, double columns) is an interesting question.
