I'm the original poster.
Thank you thank you so much, I didn't realize
how much I was lacking of sense!
Indeed, what I was asking was neither
meaningful nor useful (why don't you even say
"was meaningless and useless"?). But you gave me
great help by just telling everybody that you
agreed P. Stark's opinion, and making us see
how your memory is huge, since you could remember
what stupidities the original poster had written.

Actually, what I have is not HTML but a DTD of mine
that takes parts of the HTML definition, and indeed
I want to XSLTransform documents of this DTD into
either XHTML or WML according the final browser.

But I must be plain dumb to ask meaningless questions.
Thank you again for making me realize how a good
consultant you must be! Your help has been of the
greatest meaning and usefulness!

Ouch. ;-)

Actually, I wasn't insulting you (or at
least I didn't intend to). I was actually
insulting WML ... :-)

For an excellent article on WAP, WML, etc,
