I don't think we can (or should) predict that version X could or should be a valid version Y instance? We can't see into the future and requiring backwards compatibility will hold back ODF IMHO. Perhaps the question should be, what do we expect a processor to do when it meets a verison a) Earlier b) Later than the one it expects. xslt http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#backwards sections 3.8 and 3.9 may be of help. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
