How do you picture this working? Would the xslt stylesheet be imported, process whatever html page is calling the css sytlesheet, then the css stylesheet would apply it? I think you are confused with some basic principles of how css and xslt are applied. CSS typically just gives formatting instructions to a browser or processor of how a document is to appear. XSL works by transforming the document into another. I have seen those comparing CSS to XSL by talking about both XSLT and XSL-FO. The XSL process is to convert XML into an inbetween format called XSL-FO via an XSLT stylesheet. There is then a processor which can take the visual formatting described in XSL-FO (which shares it's origin with CSS) and use it to render the document or convert it into another format (typically a binary one or a complex one like pdf). Most browsers will do a transformation on an XML document via a processing instruction, and apply a CSS stylesheet via a linking mechanism. Jon Gorman
