This is only proving my point. With Rene's layout, lines of text get
even longer. The table-like layout is a more effective use of horizontal
*and* vertical space.
Unless there there is a general consensus, I don't intend to spend any
more time hacking the XSLT for this.
Okay, so maybe we should structure all our documents that way?
<snip amusing example>
I posted a mock-up, people expressed support, I implemented it in XSLT.
I'll change it when I feel there's consensus that it should be changed.
I'll also point out that these are definition lists, *not* arbitrarily
deep hierarchies. And there is nothing inconsistent or non-traditional
about using a table to lay out definition lists. Our FOP/PDF generators
do just that.
Awaiting comments from others.
