Hi all,

I've encountered some troubles while using wml for writing css based pages.
The problem is that some wml modules don't support the ':a:' construct and
therefore don't permit the insertion of the class (or id) attribute.

For instance if you use the <page> tag there isn't a way to have <body
id="id">.
The same is valid for <grid>. As I wrote some time ago, it is not possible to
insert a class definition if you use <grid>, because wml strips attributes it
doesn't recognize when writing html pages

I wonder if it's possible to add the scheme used in wml::des::navbar to other
modules?

Example:

#use wml::std::page
#use wml::std::grid
<page color=none id="bd">
   <grid>
     <cell class="foo"><a href="bar">baz</a></cell>
   </grid>
<grid>
  <cell :a:class="foo"><a href="bar">baz</a></cell>
</grid>
<page_end>

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" summary="">
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"><a href="bar">baz</a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" summary="">
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"><a href="bar">baz</a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Ciao, Alvise
