I'd guess most jurisdictions would presume (and be paid to) define country local identities. The ISO693-2 prefix would work there. I'd be very cautious about a publisher generating them though. Therein lies madness IMHO. So IMO we > probably don't need to worry, as long as we provide the mechanism to > mark up the court designation as such. I'm still against this proposal though, since I think it unlikely its wider than US based? Perhaps the more general application is that of some form of hierarchy, then the docbook trick of making it specific by using a role attribute? Taking case name year court designation opinion paragraph which of these are applicable to more widespread usage? John, can you help? My *guess* would be case (a vs b) year ??? ??? paragraph seems only to be the equivalent of an id on a para - are citations wanted down to this level? Is this how they are used? court opinion Perhaps a more general one might be <location role="Peterborough Crown Court"/> <opinion role=""/> I'm less sure of the meaning here. John? Is this Judge Dread vs supreme court Judge Johnson? If so what might a more general entity than opinion? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
