Subject: UBL 0p70 comment "c.1" regarding rendering of UBL instances
Recommendation The FPSC recommends that nothing be added to the UBL document models in regard to the association of stylesheets. There already exists a W3C Recommendation for the association of stylesheets and some tools already respect the practice as described. Specifying an alternative mechanism would require different non-standardized machinery to be added to stylesheet-aware applications. Supporting Comments While stylesheets are indeed used for the presentation of information, the specification of a stylesheet provides no assurances to the sender of a document that the receiver of the document will be able to utilize the stylesheet, have the required processing software, identify and obtain all of the resources needed (e.g. logos, fonts, etc.) or have sufficient capacities on their particular processing platform to perform the transformation as desired. Other technologies exist (e.g. Portable Document Format - PDF) to ensure the fidelity, integrity and security of presenting the information visually across platforms between sender and receiver. -- Upcoming hands-on courses: Europe (XSLT/XPath): May 5, 2003 - Europe (XSL-FO): May 16, 2003 - (XSLT/XPath and/or XSL-FO) North America: June 16-20, 2003 G.
