The problem with the FOSI was that even though it worked, it was hard to specify style on elements in context when the contexts were complex. We combine context and local stylesheets. So, a parentage can be used, but a local stylesheet can introduce a new one, so the complexity is localized as well. Conservation of complexity: we have more stylesheets to manage per instance. len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
