If you are going to reference an XSL variant it would help if you would
give a URL for it. Where is the region function documented?

And how would you represent this:

<BLAH>
   <BLAH>
      <BLAH>
         A span from _here_
      </BLAH>
      <BLAH>Blah</BLAH>
   </BLAH>
To _here_.
</BLAH>

You can't use numeric ranges anymore.

By lumping computers and televisions together, as if they exerted a 
single malign influence, pessimists have tried to argue that the 
electronic revolution spells the end of the sort of literate culture 
that began with Gutenberg?s press. On several counts, that now seems 
the reverse of the truth.
