I dunno. If I hard code with attributes, then I have a lot of
flexibility to adopt or adapt. I never suggested that something
that was hard-coded could/should not be overridden downstream.

I mean, is the end-user of a pencil the writer or the reader?
No, I have been suggesting the use of attribute architectural forms
as a means for both the author/publisher to indicate formatting
preferences, and as a mechanism for transporting formatting info.
I don't see the use of attribute architectural as superior to
style sheets or other mechanisms, but complementary to each other.of
In any case -- hard coded or external style sheets -- I do see
that any recipient should have the freedom to accept/ignore/modify
the formatting characteristics decisions that have been made upstream.
