I think this is an excellent way forward and many thanks to all who are contributing to this effort.

They can certain affect how each other is designed. I'd agree with this.

If I get this right it makes the DSSSL approach and the JavaClass-per-Element (as in JUMBO), very closely connected. The Grove API serves both purposes? If so, that looks very exciting.
