Although I raised the issue of feedback (and I think this is always going to be a problem with the dsssl/xsl view of the world) I can't see any sane way to add any such feature at the present time, and so encapsulating `enough' such decision processes into formatting objects is no doubt the way to go. It may be possible (later) to have some standard way of defining new formatting objects via some supported interface to a scripting language, which would offer a `gradual' way to extend the system. > So, to wrap up this somewhat incoherent rambling, I think some > larger scale analysis of what we're really out to do may be in order which was all I really hoped to provoke with my messages, rather than taking a vote at this stage. Especially since the constituency of such a vote; namely the random collection of people signed up to this list is probably not representitive of anything.
