There was talk about being able to verify that a given XSL stylesheet converts documents in one DTD into documents in another. Suppose this is possible, at least in theory (BTW, is anyone working on such a thing? It would be a lovely tool). To verify the canonical use of XSL stylesheets - use within a full XSL processor as per the current specs - you would _have_ to define a DTD for the 'fo' "vocabulary". Given that there must be two DTDs, there must also be two languages, and two names... It might turn out to be easier to convince the W3C of this then we originally thought.
