For example, it still has to work if you remove Point 1; Points 1a and 1b are not promoted to the top level. This is really the same problem as the H1, H2, ... elements in HTML. Perhaps <list> <item depth="1"> ... </item> <item depth=2> ... </item></list> might have been better. -- A witness cannot give evidence of his John Cowan age unless he can remember being born. jcowan@r... --Judge Blagden http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
