James clark's C++ SP SGML library is AF-aware, and it can be made to work with XML. > On a related topic, I'm also wondering about the health of AF - > where does it stand now? I see a ISO/IEC 10744 document about it, a > mention of XAF on Hytime.org, and a XAF site, but little else... It's pretty-much dead in the water for now -- almost nobody uses AFs or even bothers to defend them who wasn't part of the original DSSSL or HyTime design process. It's a shame, because they were a nice idea.
