(DOM couldn't, as one example.) I think that any "single view" approach is cleaner than any kind of "selectable view" approach. Modes at low levels just percolate on up the stack. While there are places that modes are the right solution, I don't think this is one. - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
