i can only read one page at a time !

but i think the idea of multiple docs is fundamentally a form of
presentation, not a requirement of the data.

its a waste of time caning a server with the same request every time for the
same data that could easily be preparsed or sent in the background.

anyhow what i always thought is that a stylesheet would be downloaded/cached
by a client and then xml data would be pipelined to the browser and be
processed locally ( and the stylesheet could be amended locally for WAI
considerations or conversion to voiceML, etc ), at the moment we 'hope' that
the browser will cache the stylesheet and we hope that the browser will have
a complaint parser to perform this and we hope that the parser will process
in the incoming stream in a logical manner.

currently having a server side mechanism is taking up the deficiencies of
the client, and determining if u want real-time parsing when the server is
hit versus preparsing is wholly based upon frequent the data is changing (
and the requirements of seeing the updated date).

have a nice weekend, jf
