The SGML transformation you are referring to is non-standard Jade extensions (indeed they are useful) and using them by default is therefore not a good idea. > - if media="screen, rtf" then the browser display the result with a RTF > player associated to the rtf extension.

In my opinion, the process of formatting is implementation dependent and will vary between different browsers. What I am trying to say is that if one has a native DSSSL browser, it would be very inefficient to do the formatting via RTF. > The xml declaration is not mandatory (i.e. the <?xml version="1.0"?> ) > Is this different from the XML standard?
