Paul, its interesting you mention SICP. I think a DSSSL book, rather like SICP, should be written in a manner that assumes programming experience but not necessarily Scheme experience. If you look at SICP, the authors actually teach scheme kinda "on the sly" while really teaching about abstraction, modularity, and good programming style. I think a DSSSL book should be written similarly. Don't actually teach Scheme per se, but just introduce the bits of syntax one by one, explaining as you go. Keep the user focussed on the problem of how to render documents. I think such an interative, approach, starting very simply and working up to complex DSSSL examples, would work quite well. -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
