Re: Formatting Objects considered harmful
Hi Paul.

My apologise. Maybe I need to go back over the archive and make sure Ive
got things straight in my own head. I *thought* it was being suggested that
XHTML+CSS was a better deliverable than XFOs as XFOs where open to possible
abuse, and that XHTML+CSS supported aural presentation in a convenient
fashion and maintained semantic value.

Cheers

     Guy.

You are attacking a straw man. I don't think that anybody is claiming that
there should be no aural presentation objects.
