I was thinking of just the association of map with element (ie the first PI). If I understand correctly, your first PI associates the mapping with all elements of a named type. I would like the flexibility of being able to control that on an element-by-element basis. An attribute seems a good way of doing this (if all elements of a type have the same mapping, you can have an attribute default). So what you end up with is an attribute that, in effect, is saying how to process the character data in the content (sounds like a notation attribute right?) It would be useful, I think, to make such a specification independent of the particular usage by the LocalMarkupFilter. Other applications might want to know about it to. So a more general solution, IMHO, would be to have the mapping triggered by notation. In fact, rather than *replacing* your first PI, that PI could remain but instead map a mapname to a notation. To me that is more in the spirit of descriptive/generic markup. James xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
