And would you let me know if that was the ldp.dsl you processed with, or
another variant? Just in case it makes any difference!
I still think something recent should be included at the top, but given
some of the changes a document goes through in a lifetime, I've always
liked the idea of a historical revhistory. I want to make sure this
would work no matter which dsl/xsl I used to process.
Thanks,
Tab
