Well, you can pass them around by reference with [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think.
By the letter of the spec, but not by the spirit.
I just ran through the discussion of this very question on the
mailing list[1], and though it looks like allowing composite types in
remote content had pretty good support, that doesn't appear to have
been translated into a Pace, and obviously, no language specifically
allowing it got into the spec document. Thus, it looks like the
prohibition from section 4.1.3.1 stands, and that you're right that
the only way you could do it without breaking the rules outright
would be by ignoring the SHOULD (have content/@type when using
content/@src), which would certainly be contrary to the "spirit" of
the spec as it stands.
