It's been tried for many reasons, namespaces was the answer in W3C (bad one, but a workable answer) For extensions I favour the requirement that when a user invokes a feature which creates an extension, he/she is warned about it? "Hey, this will extend the standard" or something. That way you know what you're doing? No excuses. Sometimes the feature will be needed, but it's a user choice. No more vendor lock-in by the back door. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
