But what do you do when there is no appropriate HTML tag? Certainly it
makes sense to add the right class attribute so we have
<span class="uri">
But should we stop there? Should the XSLT generate a CSS style element
in the head of each document with rules that match all the class
attributes? Or should it generate an external CSS style sheet with the
right rules?
I forget how the cascading order works. If we write out:
<span class="uri" style="font-face: mono">
will a rule in the head or an external stylesheet override this or not?
