questions


I have some questions related to SGML. I have tried other lists and none
was good. I hope I find the answers here.

The first is related to the use of LPD (Link Process Definition): does
it make any sense to use it now that DSSSL exists? I find they are used
much for the same thing, but DSSSL solves it better. Couldn't it be like
the Datatag and Shortref, which are two ways of solving the same, being
Shortref better than datatag??

The second is related to DSSSL and HyTime, concretely with property
sets: while reading some tutorials I perceive that property sets and
grove plans could be used to define views of documents. Now the question
is, can property sets be defined for a concrete DTD? As long as I know,
property sets are related to notation processors, and while SGML is a
notation, and thus it has his own propset, a DTD is not a notation (or
is it?), and it shouldn't be possible to declare a propset for a DTD.
Then, how could I define views of my own document type? Because
declaring a grove plan in DSSSL allows only to select modules of the
SGML propset., but not in some other propset as long as I know.

I don't know if there is some list more adequate for this kind of
questions. If so, I would thank anyonw who can point me there.
