Shall those be defined inside <class>, or outside?

Dtd is not clear on the issue and allows both.

Any differences I should know about?

Either is allowed, but inside is much preferred.

ok, is now inside...

BTW, I'm almost ready to use it productive ( it's only 10% short of covering my usage patterns )

great! :)

...but it would be great to provide an option that allows you to choose either strategy - is that possible ? ;)

it would overcomplicate templates. And anyway, subclasses / joined subclasses CAN ( and WILL,. and already DO ; ) contain next level subclasses - and those subclasses go inside.

So I prefer to keep a single behaviour....
( you do not like templates which are difficult to debug, and this buggy? :) )

understandable......(but this is why i hate xsl and other template mechanisms ;)

Well, nobody forces you to use it :)
You can write velocity template if you wish. Or fallback to your hands :)

yeah i know....but notice velocity is also a template - also bad ;)


...i do use templates and appreciate their power and flexibility - but i still think they are a pain sometimes - much like women ;)
