It means what it says. The current plan is that there will be nothing for this in 1.0 other than what there is now, which does not include any XLink-specific mechanisms. The docref() function allows you to handle some simple things. Getting a solid XSL version 1.0 out in a reasonable time requires leaving lots of potentially useful and important things out of version 1.0. > If so, the two W3C style languages seem to be taking opposite approaches > to linking: > > * CSS says that if you have a private (non-XLink) linking convention then > you cannot render the link at all, > > * XSL provides enough facilities for you to implement your own linking > convention but it cannot have links as powerful as those provided by > XLink. I don't think XSLT has a fully-worked out approach to XLink yet. James XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
