I am dissapointed to hear about XLink. That really ties us to HTML. If we can't use xml:link, can we use <html:a>, provided we declare the HTML namespace in our XT produced transormed XML? If so, then I might transform <LINK file"somefile">asdad</LINK> to <html:a href="somefile">asdad</html:a> and <GRAPHIC file="some_entity_or_some_file"/> to <html:img src="somefile"/> requiring entity resolution in the transform if an entity is used. Thanks for the help with XLink use. I'm sure others took good from that too. > > > 2. resolving tables - using CSS2 'display' values for the various components > > of tables > > Yes. Mozilla implements at least some of these, not sure about IE5 So, table resolution is 'maybe'? Great!

Great. Thanks for the help. CSS is pretty good and easy. I look forward to full XSL so that we can do all that we want in one place with one language. Then again, that may change too. I've got partial DSSSL, CSS *2 (XML and transformed HTML display) and XSL * 2 (IE5 and XT)stylesheets bouncing around my place, allowing me to render XML documents for various purposes. I can imagine that new XMLers feel quite stretched, needing to learn so many different languages. Hopefully XML to PDF and RTF tools become popular with FOs so that we are not tied to DSSSL and Jade for paper publishing, although they are quite good. I'd merely like more choice. Richard.
