Regardless of what the publisher wants/suggests/requires, there is no way of
preventing users from doing stupid things. Is a user going to accept blame for
corrupting a database by incorrectly interpreting elements? What if the structure
of the data changes at the source but the owner of the stylesheets on the client
side isn't made aware of the changes? Who's fault is it then?
