| Propose a syntax? All the ones I thought up were too ugly to live. If
| you can come up with anything better I might implement it.
I think I'm willing to live without else. If I want else, I think the
right answer is a special-purpose XML vocabulary:
<chapter>
<prof:choose>
<prof:when condition="html">
<title>HTML Title</title>
</prof:when>
<prof:when condition="print">
<title>Print Title</title>
</prof:when>
<prof:otherwise>
<title>Print and HTML Title</title>
</prof:otherwise>
</prof:choose>
....
Where the profiling application always removes all prof: elements.
Be seeing you,
norm
