This looks very interesting and promising, though I am not sure whether 
I can apply it to my stylesheet. But at least I don't have to worry 
about my dwellings for this weekend: it's now FXSL time (I wanted to 
look into it for such a long time, now's the time ;)

Thanks for the extended example and textual explanation (for some reason 
I always had some troubles understanding the abstractness of FXSL, but 
this looks all very straightforward and clear),

Cheers,
