Hi Reggie,

Like Thomas, I see no real alternative to storing some exceptions with the 
text. It is very common to have just a word in a paragraph italicised for 
example. And once we have that, the mechanism works quite well for special 
objects too. Do you have an alternative in mind?

On the other hand, I think that styles should behave like this:

1. On writing XML, the attributes of a paragrpah should be compared to the 
style sheet entry for that paragraph, and only the exception stored (along 
with the style name).

2. On reading, the style sheet entry named in the paragraph should set the 
baseline attributes for the paragraph, being overridden by the expcetions.

I think this is what you were saying too, right?

I also agree that there is cruft that we could tidy up (e.g. I'm thinking of 
making FORMATs more consistent). Whatever we do, we must make sure that 
syntaxVersion=1 is still supported too.

Thanks, Shaheed
