/ "Bob Stayton" <bo...@sagehill.net> was heard to say: | I welcome this suggestion. I too have wanted a cleaner version of XHTML so | that CSS can be given full control. If someone were to write a | specification for what the XHTML should look like, I would be willing to | help implement it in XSLT. | | Since this XHTML would be dependent on CSS for styling, I think the spec | would have to include a template for the CSS.
FWIW, this has long been my plan for the XSLT 2.0 stylesheets. When the current stylesheets were first being developed, it wasn't clear (to me, anyway) that CSS-aware browsers were widely enough deployed to reply on CSS. I think times have changed and it makes sense to make the HTML output as style-free as possible.
The XHTML stylesheets are currently mechanically generated from the HTML stylesheets.
I'd be reluctant to fork the XHTML stylesheets and maintain them separately from the HTML stylesheets.
And I'd be reluctant to make large changes to the current HTML output as there are *a lot* of pages out there that may rely on the current functionality.
I'm not sure what the right answer is...
Be seeing you, norm
