NEWS The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has today approved an XML (Extensible Markup Language) specification which enables developers to use standard style sheets and could encourage more widespread adoption of the language. Web developers use style sheets written in CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) to enhance the design of Web pages written in HTML. The recommendation of style sheets within XML will allow developers to customise and improve Web pages with colour, font and presentation. Tim Berners-Lee, W3C director, said in a statement: "Style sheets are an essential step in XML deployment, as without them there is no way to define the presentation of XML documents which use new schema." Products from Microsoft, Netscape, Opera and SoftQuad already support the specification.
