Here's hoping for "Dr. Ingo"!
In thinking about what I proposed again, it may be difficult or
kludgey to make sure that a particular illustration only appears in
the XHTML version. Instead, I see three possibilities.
First, we could require multiple "illref" elements for each possible
format. Example:
<illref class="html" idref="...-html" />
<illref class="pdf" idref="...-pdf" />
Second, even better, just a list of applicable classes.
<illref class="html pdf" idref="..." />
This may be difficult to implement. Compare how we select the
appropriate illustrators.
Last, maybe we should just include an <illustration> tag wherever we
want but omit the PDF version of the <instance>. Example:
<illustration class="float">
<meta>
<creator>Gary Chalk</creator>
<description>...</description>
</meta>
<instance class="html" src="ill1.gif" width="386" height="673" />
</illustration>
This last option wouldn't centralize the markup for the illustrations,
and therefore wouldn't make future changes easier, but it would be
fully backwards compatible (or easily so).
