Hi David, David said: ------------------------------ Perhaps it's too early to judge, and HyTime and DSSSL might still reach this point, but they have not done so yet despite the enormous efforts that people like James Clark, Paul Prescod, Eliot Kimber, and me have put into implementing and explaining them. Didier answer: ---------------------------- You are right, a lot of people have put efforts into Jade. However, the major flaw has been a lack of adequate documentation. Just take today, XML and XML related technologies have several books written on the subject. Most contain chapters about technologies like XLL or XSL not even at the recomendation stage. So, DSSSL suffered not from complexity but from bad packaging (the specs not packaged in modules from the simple to the complex), lack of documentation. We try to correct this state of fact with the OpenJade project. And as you saw in Montreal, DSSSL can now be used for on-line rendition with the same level of difficulties as CSS (the simple) up to quite complex rendition for printing (the complex).
