When you get into some fancy HTML (ie, lots of embedded tables in embedded tables in div's) I think it is a lot easier to read html than element name="table" Thinking in nodes does not exclude actually writing out nodes in your templates. I think a language like XSL is sufficiently powerful that you can make the processor do whatever you want in a number of ways. The bottom line is, if its all the same when its headed for the processor, then do what is easiest for a human to read. ------------------------------ Michael H.
