So you want to render some mathematics stuff, sending something like XSL FO ( just for Mathemathics ) ? Let's call the thing MathFO. Now either the browser understands MathFO ( has a plugin of whatever ) or it *does*not*. What is the critical role of client-side XSLT processing here? Really? I (still) don't get it. I understand 'semantic content' sounds better than 'low-level junk', but I don't understand what particular problem you're trying to solve... What is the task? To render MathFO in the browser that does not understand MathFO ??? How can client-side XSLT help you??? > > I think HTML was *very*good* idea. > So do I.

I think you're playing with words here. I still don't understand your idea about client-side XSLT and what particular problem you want to solve. All the arguments for "client-side XSLT" ( in the absence of scalable client-side FO ) are *very much* questionable. Rgds.Paul.
