Hi Sebastian, This is true that Jade implementation do not support the full spec. But to say that it is has a limited range of incomplete backends is maybe a bit misleading here. If we compare oranges with oranges no XSL implementations, up to now, allows us to convert from XML to something other than XML or HTML. So, it seems that actual XSL implementations are providing less than DSSSL. As far as I know, people are doing _real_ stuff with jade and this includes printing.

One incomplete and (apparently) frozen implementation with a limited range of incomplete backends is not exactly something to put your shirt on, is it? I *dearly* wish someone would write a complete implementation of the DSSSL style language. but even so, we don't (IMHO) have formatters capable of doing the job such an implementation would require. sebastian XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
