Well, why not have strings MS-CLASS and MS-ID? The user can set them with .ds any time they want. The macro implementations can them implement them as part of devtags embedded in any \X escapes. I never did get very good at CSS but I think I got the basic concept down; anything interpreting the devtag input can already use the tag type (macro name), like "SH", as a top-level selector, so it's not like the user would even need to be highly disciplined about re-setting the registers. This seems so simple and obvious to me that there has to be something deeply wrong with it. Examples: .ds MS-CLASS appendix\" .SH Frobnitz Internals .ds MS-ID obtaining-frobnitz\" .PP You can download Frobnitz from the Free Software Foundation at... Regards, Branden
