No, but the correct translation should be selected by the DOCTYPE of
the source document.
I've not looked to see what plucker's basic format is like, but
wouldn't it be good to build up modular stylesheets and load in the
right ones depending on the source document? Sort of XSLT-like, but
that won't work as HTML isn't XML. Conformant and compatible, though.

Awww, what's the use of having standards if you can't grumble about
them not being followed?
