HTML. the numbers assigned by <co> tags are proper, at the ends of
their respective lines.
but the entries in the calloutlist have the numbers, then, as i said,
a new line before the actual text. i'm using exactly the syntax i
see in norm's TDG example for calloutlist. except for that oddity,
everything else is fine.
i'm trying to figure out if there's some other XSL directive i
overlooked, but i think i've seen all of them related to callouts.
