My contribution to this discussion (and to the \footheight one) is to second Joachim's opinion that this thread is misplaced on the LaTeX3 list, and to point out that the whole point of LaTeX3 (as I see it, anyway) is that the style writer's interface will be specified far more rigidly, so style writers know which bits they can change and which they can't. This will mean that loads of existing styles may not conform to the style interface, but this does not necessarily mean that they will not work; backwards compatibility should be preserved in products unless is impairs development. a. -- Angus Duggan, Harlequin Ltd., Barrington Hall, | INET: angus@harlequin.co.uk Barrington, Cambridge CB2 5RG, U.K. | PHONE: +44(0)223 872522
