Absolutely. They're document-centric. And in any case, the xml-stylesheet PI isn't a real PI. A real PI starts with the name of the program it is intended to be honored by (*ducking* :-) But it provides a useful in-document reminder of at least one possible stylesheet which will at least render *something* if the document is encountered in isolation: a very important safety-catch for a site full of research documents which academics may download at will. In the headlong panic to dress XML up in a business suit, it's sometimes forgotten that one principal function of markup is to identify textual information for use (mostly rendering) in a publishing context. No databases, no scripts, no SQL, no generators, just a large number of authors turning out XML. ///Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
