Do you mean the <select from = ...> element in the current draft?
If so, I understand. Thanks.

One more question. In section 7.3 there is this:

  <paragraph start-indent = "=childNumber(element) * 12pt">
Is the attribute value literal evaled by EcmaScript as a result of the "="?
Is the
intention that the likes of childNumber(element) will be provided by the DOM?
(what is "element" in the above?)
