One other thought: you mention SVG as an example on your website, but
both SVG and XSL-FO, which are superb candidates for use-cases of your
tool, cannot be tested anymore once you start creating a design
document: an invalid SVG or XSL-FO document (and it is invalid once
your
attributes are used) will not render. This is different from the XHTML
examples, which will still render. Not using a namespace unfortunately
renders your tool useless for all but the most trivial examples....
(meaning: your tool will still work, but the strength of it, as you
state on your homepage, that you can *design* a document without it
being tampered by your extensions, does not hold any longer).
=====================


He makes a valid point. While the doucmentation for dexter emphasises
the
genericness of the concepts involved, XHTML was very much in the
forefront of
my mind as the principal use case.

I am actively working on a release which I expect to happen fairly
shortly which will address
this issue.
