Or a Bindings document might apply to a "library" of element/attribute definitions. I think that you are also underscoring a need for delegation. I'm not yet sure whether I agree with the first-encountered rule. We need to examine the cost of not allowing bindings to be cumulative. > > 2.

Another way to keep it fairly light-weight is to allow that a set of Bindings might be contained in the same document. Thus, we would maintain a link mechanism is all cases, but allow for the equivalent of a fragment identifier (#) to say that te Binding is located in the self-same document. Murray Maloney, Esq.
