I agree that it would be nice if the XHTML stylesheets had an output mode that provided better support for CSS styling. Certainly role attributes will be part of it, but I'm not sure that copying all role values out to the XHTML is the right approach. People use role for a lot of purposes that have nothing to do with styling. And in some cases they would not want the role values exposed in public HTML files (I did some work for a company that wanted the role values mapped to different strings on output). I've spent some time thinking about designing a system of markup and stylesheets that would make CSS writing easier and more powerful, but I haven't had much time for it. I would be curious to hear from others who have ideas about how the stylesheets can support CSS better. Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net > >
