...and here is another issue that IMO is somewhere in the
middle between data and presentation:
I sometimes want to tell the pdf generator that a given
table is to be layed out in landscape mode (probably on its own page).
The standard response to such a request is probably 'use the role
attribute and write your own xsl template', but I feel poor little
'role' is overcharged a bit, as it is the main vehicle to carry user
data down to the presentation engine.
How do others deal with similar situations ?
<grin/> Mutter at the WG?
Since (today, xsl 1.0 ) its a new layout, it really does need its own
special treatment.
I haven't done it myself, but I can see its a real pain
<grin> Like lots of tabular stuff !
