Which style first ? Re: Associating DSSSL style sheets with documents

I think that it's a mistake to think of stylesheets as having a
one-to-one relationship to DTDs.  It is possible to make one
stylesheet work with many DTDs (though this is probably not a good
practice), and it is not only possible but also very useful to make a
number of different stylesheets work with one DTD.

For XML this will be the typical case.  Typical XML documents
transmitted over the Web will not have DTDs and will have to point to
(or include) one or more stylesheets that are intended to be used with
them.
