"Transclusion" as described by Nelson would effectively link two groves. You can't copy the nodes into your own grove, you have to traverse to the grove that contains the transclusion and then traverse back at the end of it. The difference between transclusion and inclusion is that the context of the transcluded content is still retained. In Nelson's application model, transclusions opened a viewport that was nested inside your document. This way you could scroll above and below the transcluded content to see its original context. But I do agree with your original statement--auto/embed is not node transclusion. bob Robert Streich Work Process Systems, Inc.
