That is the way I have been doing it with my Cappuccino/Yade/PSC_EDB system. My NXP/Yade/PSC_EDB system, at least for now, will also do it like this. If you have only a few document instances it works fine. If you have hundrets of them you probably will get into troubles (for the reason already pointed out by others) > James lists some other possibilities: > > | - a processing instruction somewhere in the prolog I think, at least for XML, we don't want to use PIs too often. > | - a catalog entry that says unconditionally to use some DSSSL style > | sheet Maybe as a fallbak if other asscociation mechanisms failed.... > | - a catalog entry that associates a DSSSL style sheet with the public > | identifier of a DTD Hmm, I think I would like that. > | - make the document serve also as a style sheet by making it conform > | to the DSSSL architecture (this will work with Jade too) Do I understand correct that you want to include the style into the actual document instance ? Would work of course, but I guess only if we assume that DSSSL is the only style-spec. mechanism. Of course I would support that ;-) No, to be serious, I think we should separate style and instance as much as we can. ------ I do also think the idea with the mime header is worth a try. -- Best regards, Norbert H.
