Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages.

Use case: in the HTML version, I am using the position of the iref in the document to link back from the generated index to the position in the document. If an index entry applies to a whole section or sub-section, I currently have to place the iref element after the start of the first paragraph. Using this document position as anchor has the result of the internal document link taking me to the start of the paragraph rather than the header of the section. This could be worked around by special-casing s that appear at the start of a section's starting paragraph, but I'd prefer a cleaner solution. 2) I'd like to be able to distinguish between a primary reference entry and additional ones. For instance, I'd use (on page 17) where the PROPFIND method is defined, but (on page 42) to indicate that this is *also* talking about the PROPFIND method, but it's not where it's defined. I'd like to display this as: P PROPFIND method *17*, 42 (where ** means bold).

The way I usually do this is to use a symbolic algebra package of some sort. Most of them have an ASCII formula output facility; some are quite good at it. MATHLIB is one such package I have handy although it isn't really intended to be used this way. For example: calc> display f -1 x 2 sin x x + (1 + x + 3 x) calc> display f{x,x} 2 2 2 (-2) ((1 + x + 3 x) + (3 + 2 x) (1 + x + 3 x) (-3 - 2 x)) ------------------------------------------------------------ + 4 2 (1 + x + 3 x) x x x x -1 + x 2 cos x (x + ln x x ) + sin x (ln x (ln x x + 2 x ) + x ) Macsyma, Maple, or Mathematica would probably do a better job.

When I recently tried an implementation in RFC2629.xslt., I cam across the following issue: A figure element may have an anchor, indicating that some other part of the text wants to refer to it. Referral is done by inserting "see figure n". However, if the figure doesn't have a title attribute, it may have been created without caption. So, how are figures counted? I think if a figure has a number, it should have a caption. Otherwise the figure numbers will not appear continuous, right? So in the XSLT i'm now labelling *and* counting those figures which have title and/or anchor, and I produce captions for the same set. Does this make sense? Julian
