Re: [xml-dev] xml + style.

Dave,

I don't see how that blog entry is about presentation.  It seems to be about a strawman scenario, the philosophical underpinnings of which the author seems to be unaware.

What sometimes seems to happen is that people try to map multiple sets of equal-valued but not really overlapping meaning about something in the world (like perhaps legislation) onto a model with a "real" meaning and some other stuff that must be presentation or otherwise not quite as important (I suspect that that is the problem that the blog author has).

Have there been attempts to mix XML with presentational style
beyond HTML?
I've generally agreed that keeping semantics and style apart is
good for ... whatever, but in some cases that just isn't so.

Any references please?
