Summary:
The paper views a document as an XML tree and presents a model for formatting an ongoing document. The Document Description Framework (which separates data and presentation) is the basis for the paper.
Theoretical and practical relevance:
Documents may not be static. Examples given include medical records and diaries (e.g. blogs). Engineers need ways of publishing continual documents.
