Hi. Now I'm confused about your confusion. My own personal opinion is that it is up to the data reciever what they care to do with the data, including presenting it. I've no probelms with the data provider giving a default stylesheet in the form of stylesheet PI, but that shouldn't be regarded as binding. This is what I mean when I say imposing the stylesheet from the XML gives me the shudders. I see the stylesheet declared in the XML document as a suggestion, I might choose to transform the XML document with another stylesheet, or indeed many stylesheets.

Now I'm confused - isn't that exactly what you want to be able to do? [SNIP] XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
