Its hard-wiring in a purely visual tool If XS is supposed to be cover moderately simple print formatting, I would expect it to be useable for those mountains of academic articles out there in the world (like those physics preprints archives from Los Alamos). I know I am biased (being a TeX person) but I would really like it if XML/XS was able to replace `starters' LaTeX, viz the minimum functionality to a a typical `report' or `article'. And to get that you really have to add in: - simple floats - footnotes - simple multicolumns - equations (and as James pointed out, numbering those needs the sidebyside features...) I am not asking for serious typography, but suggesting these are needed for the `set of page-oriented features needed to provide quality printouts' Sebastian DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
