Given the wide variety of possible interpretations Peter has enumerated, it looks like I'll be taking the most conservative road possible and developing documents and links in such a way that they will remain valid whether or not the EMBEDded material is included as part of the document. So far, I think I'll only need one ANY. The documents I want to link (at this point) all share the same DTD - I hate to imagine what will happen if I need to open that up. Still, this is a considerable improvement on the tools I've worked with before. This EMBED issue raises even more bizarre questions for styling - context-dependent styling could well be forced to adjust if EMBEDded material is considered part of the document tree. Taking this into account will be an interesting challenge that may force me to use some old-style CLASS attributes, but we'll see. CSS will have some problems, but they may be surmountable. XML styling hasn't exactly happened yet, but I hope the developers are keeping this in mind. XDEV sounds like a much-needed idea given the latitude of interpretation allowed to applications. It may also be needed (or need to be extended further) given some of the switches we may need for turning on and off these SGML features people seem to want included in their parsers. But maybe we _can_ make everyone happy. Simon St.Laurent Dynamic HTML: A Primer / XML: A Primer (January) / Cookies (February) xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
