It's about pruning trees (with possible local shuffling > of morphologically fungible parts.) Oh, *that*'s the part of AF that everyone's abuzz about? Ok, given that context, I can see the excitement. How is it much different than the monolithic XSLT work going on right now (is it a fair analogy to say that the virtual "architectural document" can be created by some hard-coded XSL stylesheet - if not, how exactly does XSLT relate to "generating the architectural document", if any). I mean, I see half of AF as a way of specifying the association between elements/attributes, respectively (not elements to attributes, though), and the other half is the pruning/reordering the morphologically fungible parts. Is there anything I'm grossly missing? /David *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
