OK John. I'll continue on the public list.

In my opinion this all needs to be done using an MVC architecture.

The document model is an XML DOM, plain and simple. You are invisioning that it 
can be any vocabulary/document type. We are planning to use XOM as the 
interface to the DOM.

The views are what we have planned on all along; braille, text(or print if you 
prefer), and HTML. An XMLEditor using tree, attribute, text, and HTML views on 
the same document.

The 'C' or "controller" part of this is critical because it is what ties the 
XML DOM to the views via the semantic actions. 

Possibly the semantic actions need to be tied in with the braille view? They 
are responsible for the styling of the content, right? I think you are trying 
to tie the semantic actions with the actual document but I think it's more part 
of the view. Explain if that's not right.

Hi Keith,

This method was removed. It's been compiling for me. I wonder why. There must 
be an old class around. In any case, this code is to be changed. 
The DocumentManager class needs extensive rewriting.

Let's start putting our messages on the BrailleBlaster list instead of writing 
to each other. That will stimulate interest in a wider commuunity and may give 
rise to some new ideas.

Brandon, please subscribe to both the liblouisliblouisxml and brailleblaster 
lists. Go to http://www.abilitiessoft.com . You will find links to sites where 
you can subscribe.  Do you have the command for cloning the 
brailleblaster.newdesign repository?

To all, I'm working on the documentmodel package. It's coming along rather 
slowly, but I have confidence in it.

Thanks,
John
