In particular, what happens when two different classes with same name are used in two documents? I really think the class should not be added to textclasslist but that bufferparams should have a notion of local textclass. Bo> I recommend that this patch goes to 1.4.1. If not, please, 1.5.x. We need to sort some issues out first. JMarc
