It seems to me it should be the latter. I guess this means the attributes should be READable, though I haven't thought it through too carefully.

I've always been impressed with the way XML handled this, even though it's a kludge. _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
