Dave, I'd like to follow up on this a bit, in lieu of the recent
discussions on REV/REL. How does the INDEX attribute fit into the REV/REL
framework?
At 1st blush, it would seem like a 2 pass mechanism might be useful, where
you first go thru and identify the INDEX attributes and then go back and
add anchors with the appropriate REV attibute (this anchor is pointed to by
the index). Certainly you wouldn't want a human doing this, it needs to be
automated.
I suppose you could make the same argument for a TOC attribute.
How are you handling this in the HTML3 document?
