Re: Q: "style samples" with DocBook

/ "Ulrich Windl" <Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de> was heard to say:
| Is it really that hard?
| 
| <simplelist>
|   <member renderas=acronym>acronym</member>
|   <member renderas=phrase>phrase</member>

That would be a stylesheet author's nightmare. Checking every element
for a renderas attribute? And doing something reasonable if asked to
renderas something unreasonable (<orderedlist renderas="chapter">...)

How about simply:

<simplelist>
  <member><acronym>acronym</acronym></member>
  <member><phrase>phrase</phrase></member>
  ...
