/ Sean Wheller <swheller@bigpond.net.au> was heard to say:
| But I think that on the overall it missed the point. Which, is that TDG and
| the XSL are not aligned, so making the expected results, explained by TDG,
| unreliable. This demotes the value of the TDG as the "definitive guide" and
| IMHO should be fixed. My definition of a BUG is when a piece of software
| does not behave as specified in the requirements. Which for me is "TDG".

First, "what Bob said". Then:

Yes, the state of the art in stylesheets has changed since TDG was
published. Any book that describes software faces that problem.

I do hope that the software parts of TDG can be updated. But I think
keeping the reference documentation for the actual DTD up-to-date is
more important.

Maybe the right thing to do is rip the DSSSL chapter out.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
