Hi Simon Simon said: I wonder if maybe there'd be a way to establish this a little more solidly as a means of providing metadata about links and inclusions. XLink already provides some metadata, but I suspect we're going to find more places where extra information about a link might be useful, and where they might be useful across multiple applications. The stylesheet example here is a good one. Edd also noted digital signatures, and I suspect there may be more lurking out there as eventual possibilities. Didier replies: Yes this would help to make our XML document portable. In other words, to have our XML documents to be processed by more than one vendor's solution. Do not forget also conditional inclusion since the content's inclusion may be variable on: a) the device profile b) the user profile Actually, information architect filled for a patent for dynamic aggregation based on the user profile or the device profile. So maybe its too late and conditional aggregation is now a proprietary solution???? cheers Didier PH Martin ---------------------------------------------- Email: martind@n...
