Well, I *meant* contiguous in the source but your question leads me to think: if the link target can be noncontiguous in the rendering (as it clearly can with XSL) then what's the point of requiring contiguousness in the source? I had been thinking that it was ease-of-rendering but that doesn't hold up in light of the fact that adjacency in source is not the same as adjacency in rendering. If we ditch this requirement then the model becomes much simpler: nodelists are described by "select patterns." The stylesheet can ask whether a node is addressed by any select pattern in any locator in any XLink in the current "document set". The stylesheet can do what it wants based on that information. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco "The Excursion [Sport Utility Vehicle] is so large that it will come equipped with adjustable pedals to fit smaller drivers and sensor devices that warn the driver when he or she is about to back into a Toyota or some other object." -- Dallas Morning News XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
