XSL is not an extension of CSS2; it's a shotgun marriage of CSS2 and DSSSL. There are some features of absolutely-positioned blocks for which the CSS2 way of doing things is fundamentally at odds with the XSL way of doing things. (I posted a message about this a few days ago.) There are other fundamental incompatibilities as well. For example, CSS2 processes formatting instructions sequentially (thus, there is a well-defined ordering). XSL specifies formatting instructions as XML element attributes, which are intrinsically unordered. -Steve Schafer XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
