Subject: [xsl] fo:multi-switch, etc From: "Jon Smirl" <jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 22:29:44 -0500 |
I just noticed the multi-* portions of XSL:fo in section 6.9. Until these sections were added I had considered XSL:fo to be a very clean spec. Now I'm not so sure. Why were these tags added instead of using the already existing concept of the DOM and behaviors? Event DOM: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html CSS Behaviors: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-becss-19990804 XSL:fo could have a set of standard behaviors that could then be attached to any tag instead of creating new tags. This looks to me like a much more general and cleaner approach. The standard behavior approach is not incompatible with translation to PDF. You'd just look for the standard behavior instead of the special tag. I would argue that all interactivity with XSL:fo be specified via the DOM/behaviors mechanism and nothing be allowed into the basic XSL:fo language. This would be a good case for merging a schema describing behaviors with XSL:fo. Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
