so you have a web browser that knows where you are reading in a middle
of a length of text, do you? can I have a copy please, as it sounds
like a very valuable bit of software....

it doesn't add up, sorry. I simply wouldn't implement your requirement
like that.

I think I still believe that the precise requirement isn't defined.
You want to rerender the current document using an alternate stylesheet
(a pop-up menu created from all those listed using PIs in the doc?),#
which is fine - but you also now want to preserve context? suppose
stylesheet B does not include the bit of text you are reading on the
screen rendered by stylesheet A?

Someone tell me, by the way, why Mozilla does not use libxml/libxslt,
and get a 100% XSLT engine today, instead of the _nearly_ implementation
now supplied.....
