XSL and DSSSL are focusing rather hard on (1), but not on (2). That may not be a bad thing if it is made clear that from the designers point of view (2) is better left to java, which it would be if the borwser people could better integrate java into their browsers. the problem is that (2) often spends a lot of time trying to do a lot of the stuff that the display engine for (1) already has figured out. hmm... so maybe what I am looking for is a "standard" way to extend a XSL processing/display engine with new flow-object types at run-time. Paul, was it you who talked about this some months ago? Someone did, so it isn't a new idea. -derek Derek E. Denny-Brown II || ddb@c...
