ie xml add on
Hi,

I read Tim's article in XML.com with interest (Ref:
http://www.xml.com/1999/03/ie5/first-x.xml). Several comments are to the
point, the critic well conducted and exact except one glitch....


<ArticleExtract>
At this point in history, there is only one official, approved, stable,
production-quality standard for stylesheets, and it's named Cascading Style
Sheets, or CSS for short. CSS 1 has been around since December 1996, and CSS
2 since May 1998.

The above statement is correct except with its statement beginning "there is
only one official, approved, stable, production-quality standard ". this
statement is inexact. DSSSL is also an official standard (ISO), approved
(internationally), stable (proved it since 2 years), production quality
standard (proved it with several implementations). So, let's put the clock
with the right time this time and redo the sentence with the correct factual
information:

At this point in history, there is two official, approved, stable,
production-quality standards for style sheets:
a) Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS for short. CSS 1 has been around since
December 1996, and CSS 2 since May 1998.
b) Document Style Semantics and Specification Language or DSSSL has been
around since 1996.

IE 5.x implements the former, the latter is available as an add-on.

So, as Tim did for IE5, I'll put a bug image in front of this article's part
:-)
