 Hi Dare, Dare said: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" hlink:definition=http://www.example.org/whatever... Advantages: Modular, easy for Joe Blow to use without understanding how it works Disadvantages: Security issues, information necessary to process document no longer self contained Didier replies: I am not so sure about if what you said as an advantage is really one. I tested with a real joe Blow (i.e. somebody that knows a bit about XML and a lot about HTML) and he got some difficulties to grasp the mapping process. It is probably easier for someone used to object inheritance as commonly used in object languages or to someone who learned about architectural forms :-) I have also some questions. a) Would this implies that XSLT 2.0 should support such mapping in order to be able to process documents. For instance, to match with a link element and be aware that in fact, it should match with an object element (which is mapped to a link element)?. b)Would this imply that XSLT 1.0 is broken when we think of processing XHTML 2.0 documents (with the Hlink mapping)? c) if the mapping document is external to the document to be processed, why then not use a DTD including architectural form declaration to perform the mapping? d) are slowly following a path where documents are no longer self sufficient? e) have reached the limits of the original axioms? f) Are we brain damaged? :-) :-), just kidding :-) Cheers Didier PH Martin
