Hi Avi, I do not mean in the actual Jade implementation which is like you said. I am trying to find the intent of the editors that just said very little about this construct. Actually, you are right, they do not specify that the implementation to be in a DSSSL script but it may be in a script or in whatever the implementer decides. I think that we need to clarify the expansion mechanism for DSSSL-2. actually, it is not clear enough. I'll start a discussion thread specific to expansion mechansim. My own opinion is that the library is a better tool for this and it also provide a package for any expansions. Also, if we specify that a library could be made in any language as long as a set of procedure and flow objects are exported, we increase the versatility and also simplify the expansion mechsnaism to a single entity. We would then have to manage libraries and libraries would contain different implementations. regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Avi Kivity Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 1999 7:34 AM To: 'dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: About the declare-flow-object-class On Monday, July 05, 1999 01:58, Didier PH Martin [SMTP:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] wrote: > purpose.

Wherever the formal public ID points, it sure isn't into a dsssl script, or anything covered by the standard. It is completely implentation-defined. In Jade, it points to a table of FOTBuilder::Extension objects exported by the backend. Another implementation may point it somewhere else. --- "The only words which have meaning are the last ones spoken" DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
