Of course this is the right place to ask questions about DSSSL. (And BTW I never used the term "outsiders"). But maybe we should take a hint from Usenet and, in the interim while the documentation project is largely unfinished, publish an FAQ. For example, I think somebody asks a question every other week which would be solved if they were informed that attribute-string returns #f when the attribute is implicit (or something like that); another common misunderstanding seems to be the difference between "(proc)" and "proc" where proc is a procedure name. These are RTFM questions, but they occur often and are exactly the sort of thing that appears in FAQs. Of course, nobody ever reads FAQs so maybe they will just become RTFFAQ questions... >> Frankly, >> there are so many novice questions about DSSSL and Scheme hitting the >> list >> every day now that I am starting to do mass deletions.
