I think Sebastian covered it well. Shortcut properties are in XSL simply for compatibility with CSS. There is no real justification for their inclusion on XML/XSL grounds, and they conflict with the design goals of XML (see the XML rec, section 1.1, points 4, 5 and 10). They make more work for the parser without adding any significant value. -Steve Schafer XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
