Re: template matching.. display the data

I'm not aware of any spec that supports this at present.  What I meant was 
that it would be a good idea if there was one.

Personally I think one such document (meaning one URL) should define one 
display instance.  Depending how that evolves, it could use one or more 
stylesheets to present data from one or more XML documents, but should produce 
one display result.  XSL doesn't really allow for this, but the display spec 
document should ideally not be limited to a particular type of stylesheet.
