As did IADS and IDE/AS. It worked until we needed database associations, then a separate link processor became more useful. In a sense, I think the stylesheet as center of the system is a flawed concept. Charles once remarked "everyone wants to own the parser" and that summed it up for me. I became convinced it came down to a framework of objects and rendering, validation, hyperlink resolution, etc. were just processes to be pipelined as needed. Parts and assemblies: it's in the way that you use it. len -----Original Message----- From: Gavin Thomas Nicol [mailto:gtn@r...] On Thursday 31 January 2002 04:34 pm, Ralph Ferris wrote: > I had been introduced to the subject of linking from the HyTime > direction.

This was kind of the way DynaText/DynaWeb did linking: all link behaviour was associated with the content through the stylesheet. Given my firm stance that "the interpreter is always right", this seems to me to be the best general approach.
