Re: xml-stylesheet p.i. and other options (was Re: text/xsl...)
Sebastian,
Well, I should probably get off the thread since the context is (still) a
hypothetical one.
But ... earlier I offered the example of a reading version and a false
color proof version side-by-side. In a Humanities context, a similar thing
would be a clean reading version next to a "barbed wire" version showing
where all the editorial emendations, or variora, were in a text. You do
want to switch transparently between them and not lose your place.
Maybe what I'm learning is that it's too rare a requirement to suppose
there'd be much of a push for a standard way to do it. OTOH, it's through
the introduction of nifty new features that no one thinks they actually
need or want, that an entirely new set of applications is discovered. ("But
why would I want to bother with formatting my gopher page?")
Cheers,
Wendell

it's hardly something you do that often, is it? sorry, I probably
don't get your context.
