That doesn't bother me at all. There are two main objections to verbose XML files: 1) Large size means slower transmission times. This is easily remedied: Standard compression algorithms do a very good job of compressing XML files to a small fraction of their original size. 2) It's harder for a human to process. I don't think it was ever intended for XSL fo's to be routinely edited by hand. -Steve Schafer XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
