| But I think that on the overall it missed the point. Which, is that TDG and

| unreliable. This demotes the value of the TDG as the "definitive guide" and
| IMHO should be fixed. My definition of a BUG is when a piece of software
| does not behave as specified in the requirements. Which for me is "TDG".
First, "what Bob said". Then:
Yes, the state of the art in stylesheets has changed since TDG was
published. Any book that describes software faces that problem.
I do hope that the software parts of TDG can be updated. But I think
keeping the reference documentation for the actual DTD up-to-date is
more important.
Maybe the right thing to do is rip the DSSSL chapter out.
Be seeing you,
