in my opinion "css in xml-format" harms the SoC coz it's the webdesigner that builds the css and they are so used of working with visual tools like TopStyle to easily edit the stylesheet; there you can select the "IE & Netscape compliant" css properties and as far as I know the next spec for css would include inheritance which will be a really great advantage; but how will you do that in xml; by adding an attribute "extends"?

The native CSS syntax is so much more comfortable to write. Another point to consider is cacheability: you'll have to make sure the generated CSS can be cached by Cocoon (or by whatever front-end cache you're using).Maybe it would be easier for this to have different CSS URLs (generated by Cocoon based on browser detection) for the different browsers, instead of generating variable CSS content for the same CSS URL based on the browser type. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
