I agree with everything you say. I don't think that it addresses the point of the post, however. Links are not the problem. Editing a transformed view of a document is the problem. It isn't at all clear how edits in the view are translated back into edits in the source document. Suppose I add an element to a sorted list -- in the sorted view. Where in the unsorted source document does that element appear? Suppose I add an element at the point where a some element has been suppressed. Does the new element go before or after the suppressed element? etc. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco "The Excursion [Sport Utility Vehicle] is so large that it will come equipped with adjustable pedals to fit smaller drivers and sensor devices that warn the driver when he or she is about to back into a Toyota or some other object." -- Dallas Morning News XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
