Ok, so I guess the only problem left is a:hover. If the content contains
<a name="foo"/>, then all the text after anchor gets the styling from
the a:hover. Or is there a way to make a:hover affect only links? But
this would only affect people who have to use a:hover and xhtml
together. If they can use the html output of the xsls, there's no
problem.
Thanks,
David
